The Episcopal Church has released a Christmas video designed for congregational use, and many parishes may wish to personalize it to advertise their own Christmas services. For those who find the editing process unfamiliar or overwhelming, the Diocesan Evangelism Committee is here to help.
A brief “how-to” video has been created to demonstrate the simple steps needed to customize the Christmas video for parish use. You can view it here.
To provide additional hands-on support, the committee will host a drop-in Zoom session on Saturday, December 13, 9-10 a.m.

Meeting ID: 879 3183 5110
Passcode: 321350
Prior to the Zoom meeting, parishes are invited to send their PowerPoint or Google Slide containing parish information to Rev. Lisa Work. During the Zoom session:
- Rev. Work will insert each parish’s slide into the Christmas video, download the completed file, and return it as a downloadable file or a shareable link suitable for parish websites or social media.
- Committee members will also be available to help create a PowerPoint or Google Slide for any parish that needs assistance.
Through this combination of clear instruction and live support, the Diocesan Evangelism Committee hopes to make this excellent evangelism resource accessible to all congregations.
In addition, you can find a full set of Advent and Christmas resources for use in social media and parish communications here: https://www.episcopalchurch.org/advent-and-christmas-resources/
