Celebrate Your Church's Anniversary with a Photo Book

It doesn’t matter if you’re commemorating five years or seventy-five – a church anniversary is a great blessing to celebrate. LifeWay has teamed up with Inkubook to help you celebrate your church anniversary in a lasting photo book keepsake. If you have an Internet connection and digital photos, you’re ready to get started.

Choose from hardcover or softcover books starting at just $9.95. When it’s ready for print, place a secure order online and your books will be delivered in 7-10 business days.

Before you get started, here are a few tips to think about when making a gorgeous church anniversary photo book:

1. Start early with an “idea starter-book.”
Allow plenty of time for gathering all of the content to give you more time for laying out the book. It’s also a great idea to make a book from an event like a Christmas pageant or a church picnic several months in advance. This gives people an idea of what the book will look like. Many folks aren’t familiar with photo books and seeing one will get them excited about ideas for the anniversary book.

2. Get everyone involved.
Almost everyone has a story to tell or a photo to contribute. Send out a message using the Invite Friends feature and make it easy for everyone to share digital photos or personal stories.

3. Go digital with all those old photos.
The older the church, the more likely it is that most of your photos will not be digital. This will require you to gather and scan lots of old photos, documents, and other memorabilia. Be sure to scan them in high resolution to achieve optimal quality in the printed book – 300 pixels per inch is ideal.

4. Consider a cookbook.
The sharing of meals and recipes is a big part of Christian fellowship. Many churches combine photos and stories about their history with a collection of recipes to make a book that everyone cherishes and uses.

5. Use the Photo book in your fundraising efforts.
Many churches use a major anniversary celebration to establish a special fund for attendees to contribute toward a major item such as a steeple, stained class, or adjacent land. Giving a copy of the church anniversary photo book to donors makes for a very special “Thank You” gift. Not only do they get to support a great cause, donors also get a precious keepsake in return. Inkubook generously offers church groups 20% off orders of 10 or more copies!
