Welcome packs for churches | Morse-Brown Design for Web & Print

Client: Various churches

Welcome packs

We love these kinds of jobs, where a small dose of concentrated design work can make a huge difference to the way an organisation is perceived.

It's a problem that many churches and similar bodies face – how to neatly and succinctly explain what they do and what is available to new people coming through their doors. Our solution for two churches (so far) has been a set of beautifully designed, yet very simple, postcards, each describing one aspect of the organisations work. These are then either drilled and bound together with a very neat bolt, or placed in a small custom-designed folder. We can also design postcard-sized booklets that give an overview of the organisation. And we can supply neat, wall-mounted perspex holders for the postcards to go in, in the main foyer.

Both churches have been delighted with the end result. Would you like us to design some for you?
