Free Weekly Resources to Help Flatten the Curve
We've seen the updates on Facebook of church staff trying to figure out Zoom, Facebook Live, and other live-streaming options. We've read the posts of parents saying, "Schools and day-cares are canceled...how am I going to get work done, and home-school and hang out with my kids?" We want to help by taking on the work for you.
We already have an extensive library of resources, and rather than you figuring out how to set up a password-protected page on your website, or come up with another way to quickly get materials to your families and parishioners, we have set up a simple alternative. Simply share this link with your community: https://www.illustratedministry.com/flattenthecurve
When people sign up, they will immediately receive a meditative coloring page in the confirmation email. Then they will receive a weekly email on Fridays that includes FREE faith formation resources for ALL AGES. We are already looking through our library to find materials that would be a good fit for this, AND we are brainstorming some new products that we can create that would be included as well.
