If you only have a few events each year and you want to step up to online registration, you may want to try Sign-Up-Sheet. You could go the absolutely simple route of using a Google form, but Sign-Up-Sheet provides you will the opportunity to build a bit of a community around your event by incorporating details which come later and event discussion by those who register. Check it out, I think it can be a great small church tool!

One thing that I try to give away to my families and in guest bags at every event is a Kids MP3 Bible. Faith Comes By Hearing is a powerful ministry that seeks to spread God’s Word all over the world. Aside from their regular products, they offer a special program for pastors and churches that allows members to receive free MP3′s of the New Testament as well as Kids Bibles with major stories and Bible songs.

What they ask in return is for your church to promote their ministry in some way and take up a special collection for their missions work. The two Bibles mentioned above are both dramatized and are an excellent tool. We have probably gotten close to 1000 discs from them. Seriously, no one in their right mind would pass this up!
