Mtk. Carrie Foley is a professional graphic designer and marketing expert, and has a gift for developing impactful visual concepts. Becki King is a professional content writer for legal websites, blogger, and former attorney who currently serves on the Holy Cross Parish Council. Theophan Dort brings to the group experience in website development and computer technology, and as a retired psychiatrist, is a nuanced communicator. Pam Richards, Chair, majored in English and writes poetry and short stories at faithwriters.com. Her leadership experience includes service as a director at a Christian non-profit ministry.
The members of the Communications Committee have been working together since the parish picnic in September 2015. That fall we worked at fever pitch to not only determine the most effective methods for disseminating information about the capital campaign, but also developing the visual aspects of those print and digital methods. The words in the original packet folders were thoughtfully chosen by the parish council and we were charged to create materials befitting the lofty project. We wrote and designed the brochure and the website framework to draw people into the exciting and challenging work ahead of us.
The active phase of the capital campaign required frequent email updates and as that phase drew to a close in early 2016 our activity also slowed even as the other committees’ activities accelerated. As plans develop and solidify, we will keep you informed throughout the process. In the end, our role will turn outward as we introduce our church to our new neighbors in Kernersville.
While we hope you will read and benefit from the information that we disseminate, our communication is not intended to be one way, and we are eager to hear from you. Feel free to offer comments, submit ideas, or share personal stories of your faith journey as it relates to the building of our new church. You may reach out to us in a number of ways:
As we walk this path together toward “raising the cross” of Christ for His glory, we greatly appreciate your partnership. Please remember us in your prayers that our words will fulfill our mission in accordance with God’s holy and perfect will.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14
