To Listen & Share CDs

Ideas for Listening to CDs and Sharing CDs...

I believe CDs leaving the kiosk sometimes slow down not because

people aren’t interested in the titles but because they haven’t listened

to the ones they already have. The following are ideas to pass on to your

parishioners to help them better take the opportunity to listen to the CDs. Another neat aspect of the Lighthouse CDs is that they make it easy to share the Faith! Sometimes people just need to be given the ideas for how to pass them on to others. Both of the squares below can be put into your bulletins and shared in pulpit announcements.

Ideas for Listening to CDs

1. Use headphones. Headphones can both rid

the everyday distractions around the house

and allow one to continue with tasks

throughout the house.

2. Purchase a small portable CD player for the

car, tractor, or garage. (An online search

showed two types of portable CD players for

as low as $23.) Give one as a gift.

3. Download CDs to an mp3 player if one prefers.

4. Listen while working in the garage.

5. Listen on trips to town and on vacation trips.

6. Listen while driving truck or tractor.

7. Listen while driving to and from work.

8. Listen on portable headphones while working

in the yard.

9. Listen while going for a walk, outside or even on a treadmill.

10. Listen while doing

dishes and folding the

laundry.

Ideas for Evangelizing with CDs

When and How?

1. CDs fit in envelopes so can

easily be sent. (Add to all

birthday, graduation, and

anniversary cards.)

3. CDs fit inside a glove compartment so can be taken with on trips for the right moment to share.

4. CDs fit inside many purses so can be taken with to share during the right conversation.

To Whom?

1. Give to Godchildren and to those for whom you

are a confirmation sponsor.

2. Give to relatives (siblings, children, parents, grandchildren…)

3. Give to the Kirby salesman, the water meter reader, the Schwan's man, and the insurance salesman.

4. Give to colleagues.

5. Give to high school graduates.

6. Hang one on the mailbox for the mail carrier?

7. Do you ever take a cab? Give one to the driver. Fly in an airplane? Give one to the person in the seat beside you.

8. The options are as endless as ones creativity!
