How to Use Unwrap Christmas Social Media Shareables
Actively posting content on your
local church’s social media profiles
is an important part of engaging
your online congregation!
United Methodist Communications
developed a Social Media
Shareables library to help you find
free, ready-to-post seasonal and
non-seasonal content for your
various social media accounts.
The Shareables are the correct size
for use on Facebook, Instagram
and Twitter.
USE THE SHAREABLES OF YOUR CHOICE BY:
- Downloading the graphic(s) you feel would be a good fit on your social media channels
- Saving the graphic(s) to your computer or other device
- Logging in to your church’s social media account(s) and creating a new post, including a photo
- Uploading your selected Shareable graphic and adding a written message of your own (see ideas below)
- Post!
IDEAS FOR WRITTEN SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS TO ACCOMPANY YOUR SHAREABLES GRAPHICS:
- Invitations/reminders for upcoming events and worship services
