help you along with strategy here to help you along with black history month so it starts with black history month so it starts with black history month so it starts with choosing an empowering figure um from choosing an empowering figure um from choosing an empowering figure um from black history to highlight each week and

black history to highlight each week and black history to highlight each week and you could do black uh church history if you could do black uh church history if you could do black uh church history if you want there's plenty of of black you want there's plenty of of black you want there's plenty of of black church history there so you could choose church history there so you could choose church history there so you could choose so so choose four one for each week and so so choose four one for each week and so so choose four one for each week and so on Monday the the first Monday of so on Monday the the first Monday of so on Monday the the first Monday of each week post a picture of that person each week post a picture of that person each week post a picture of that person to the feed telling a little story about to the feed telling a little story about to the feed telling a little story about who they are why they're significant to who they are why they're significant to who they are why they're significant to his hist or church history and then I his hist or church history and then I his hist or church history and then I want you to post quotes from that want you to post quotes from that want you to post quotes from that highlighted person that you've highlighted person that you've highlighted person that you've established on Monday um to your stories established on Monday um to your stories established on Monday um to your stories throughout the week to continue to um throughout the week to continue to um throughout the week to continue to um you know continue that conversation and you know continue that conversation and you know continue that conversation and Spark maybe one-on-one interactions in Spark maybe one-on-one interactions in Spark maybe one-on-one interactions in the DMS and then here you go on Sundays the DMS and then here you go on Sundays the DMS and then here you go on Sundays work a quote or story about that person work a quote or story about that person work a quote or story about that person um or simply mention them in your Sunday um or simply mention them in your Sunday um or simply mention them in your Sunday sermon to kind of tieo on that week sermon to kind of tieo on that week sermon to kind of tieo on that week weave it all together and incorporate weave it all together and incorporate weave it all together and incorporate black history into what you're doing at black history into what you're doing at black history into what you're doing at your Church even if your church is your Church even if your church is your Church even if your church is predominantly white like mine okay uh predominantly white like mine okay uh predominantly white like mine okay uh Switching gears for my fifth draft I've Switching gears for my fifth draft I've Switching gears for my fifth draft I've got National awkward moments day on got National awkward moments day on got National awkward moments day on March 18th hear me out on this every March 18th hear me out on this every March 18th hear me out on this every church has that infamous thing that church has that infamous thing that church has that infamous thing that happened yeah for me I I it was me there happened yeah for me I I it was me there happened yeah for me I I it was me there you go I was a young um it was the you go I was a young um it was the you go I was a young um it was the Christmas play I it was my turn to sing Christmas play I it was my turn to sing Christmas play I it was my turn to sing a solo Away in a Manger and I was a a solo Away in a Manger and I was a a solo Away in a Manger and I was a donkey that year so I got up on stage in donkey that year so I got up on stage in donkey that year so I got up on stage in my donkey outfit I open my mouth to sing my donkey outfit I open my mouth to sing my donkey outfit I open my mouth to sing Away in a Manger and I vomited on the Away in a Manger and I vomited on the Away in a Manger and I vomited on the stage in front of my beloved friends and stage in front of my beloved friends and stage in front of my beloved friends and family the pizza that we had just family the pizza that we had just family the pizza that we had just consumed uh in the in the kids room just consumed uh in the in the kids room just consumed uh in the in the kids room just moments before an embarrassing moment moments before an embarrassing moment moments before an embarrassing moment playing a

playing a playing a donkey right could say you made an of donkey right could say you made an of donkey right could say you made an of yourself uh so the idea here is you yourself uh so the idea here is you yourself uh so the idea here is you probably not for Alex when he was a probably not for Alex when he was a probably not for Alex when he was a young and have this on recording yes young and have this on recording yes young and have this on recording yes thanks be to God there's no evidence of thanks be to God there's no evidence of thanks be to God there's no evidence of this so this is like when pastor said this so this is like when pastor said this so this is like when pastor said something but then said the bad word something but then said the bad word something but then said the bad word instead of the good word singing The instead of the good word singing The instead of the good word singing The Wrong lyric it's the middle of the Wrong lyric it's the middle of the Wrong lyric it's the middle of the sermon and like one of the drums Falls sermon and like one of the drums Falls sermon and like one of the drums Falls over you probably have this and you can over you probably have this and you can over you probably have this and you can milk it for engagement sure and it's milk it for engagement sure and it's milk it for engagement sure and it's like remember that time everyone loves like remember that time everyone loves like remember that time everyone loves remember that time this is the digital remember that time this is the digital remember that time this is the digital version of remember that time National version of remember that time National version of remember that time National awkward moments day March awkward moments day March awkward moments day March 18th um now I'm just thinking of all the 18th um now I'm just thinking of all the 18th um now I'm just thinking of all the all the church fail videos I've seen all the church fail videos I've seen all the church fail videos I've seen like when the cross just falls off the like when the cross just falls off the like when the cross just falls off the wall like mid sermon or yeah it's so wall like mid sermon or yeah it's so wall like mid sermon or yeah it's so good right exactly yeah that's what I'm good right exactly yeah that's what I'm good right exactly yeah that's what I'm saying yeah this stuff happens um okay saying yeah this stuff happens um okay saying yeah this stuff happens um okay this one is this is a freebie because this one is this is a freebie because this one is this is a freebie because churches are already acknowledging this churches are already acknowledging this churches are already acknowledging this day every year it's the first Thursday day every year it's the first Thursday day every year it's the first Thursday in May so it moves around it's the in May so it moves around it's the in May so it moves around it's the National Day of Prayer so this one is National Day of Prayer so this one is National Day of Prayer so this one is like this one aligns with the mission like this one aligns with the mission like this one aligns with the mission and vision of most Christian churches and vision of most Christian churches and vision of most Christian churches that I'm familiar with and most churches that I'm familiar with and most churches that I'm familiar with and most churches that I'm familiar with online usually that I'm familiar with online usually that I'm familiar with online usually post about this but they usually just post about this but they usually just post about this but they usually just post the standard it's National Day of post the standard it's National Day of post the standard it's National Day of Prayer okay so I'll just keep scrolling Prayer okay so I'll just keep scrolling Prayer okay so I'll just keep scrolling because what am I supposed to do with because what am I supposed to do with because what am I supposed to do with that um and so that's the perfect that um and so that's the perfect that um and so that's the perfect example of it's not show don't tell it's example of it's not show don't tell it's example of it's not show don't tell it's tell and you want a show Alex is going tell and you want a show Alex is going tell and you want a show Alex is going to tell us yeah and so instead similar to tell us yeah and so instead similar to tell us yeah and so instead similar to uh the example I used for um engaging to uh the example I used for um engaging to uh the example I used for um engaging with technology take this opportunity to with technology take this opportunity to with technology take this opportunity to create a post that guides your church
