HSM’s Fall 2010 Calendar
Josh on August 27th, 2010
Here is HSM’s Fall Calendar that goes to print this week – you may notice some echoes of the Summer Calendar in it still. Couple big things we’re starting to really push as we head into fall:
- Services – 1/4 of the calendar is dedicated to our central program. Our 4 entry-level services each weekend are the top of the funnel where students enter our discipleship process. In some ways, the calendar acts as much for invitation as it does for information.
- Life Groups - a huge amount of space is dedicated to the 2nd step in our process – getting connected in a Life Group.
- 1 event – We have just 1 real “event” in the fall – Pumpkinfest is in its 3rd year and we’re still really excited about it.
- A few activities – We have several low cost, fun activities planned in the fall – each of them are directly connected/linked to a weekend service. I’ll post more on this strategy soon!

Have you used a traditional calendar in the past – IE showing the 4 months with the events filled in on it? I wonder if you would share with us the pros & cons of this format. We create a calendar three times a year (Jan-May, June-Aug, Sept-Dec) that has calendars for each month with all the stuff plotted out. I would say we are ready to rethink our format.
