When creating your announcement slides, be sure to remember that you have first-time guests with you. Keeping your slides uniform shows intentionality and communicates that all of your events are working together under one vision. Rather than choosing random images for your announcement slides, use consistent colors, shapes, and fonts to create a recognizable look. This is what tips you off that you’re looking at an Apple ad before you ever see a device or makes you think Nike before you see a swoosh. One of the best characteristics of great brands is a consistent look across all of their graphics. Or, it’s even better if you have a photo from your church that you can use. Using a stylish image from Unsplash, a ministry-specific stock photo from Lightstock, or even an icon from The Noun Project can make a major difference in your design.
Including images on your announcement slides is one of the easiest ways to grab the attention of your audience. Many times, congregations don’t know HOW to respond to the announcements that are presented to them. Be sure to always include a call to action on your slides that gives easy instructions for how your audience can take their next step. This can be as simple as saying “sign up in the lobby after service” or “find out more on our website”. Give a quick description of your event and info on where they can find out more.

Announcement slides are best used to generate interest, not give full details. Keep your slides lean and leave people wanting more. Sure, it can be tempting to put every detail of your event on your slide, but it can quickly become so overwhelming that your message gets lost.
There’s nothing worse than an announcement slide that’s packed full of text. However, if you follow these simple guidelines as you create your slides, you’ll be set up for success in making your announcements pop. Just like any other form of communication, announcement slides can quickly become ignored when not executed correctly. Whether you’re displaying this loop of slides before your service begins, at certain times during your service, or even as people are leaving, they are a great way to get the word out about upcoming events. Announcement slides can play a huge role in communicating information to your church family.
