Keeping Families Connected During the Summer Holidays

10 July 2025

July 2025 - July brings changing routines, travel and lighter midweek programmes. Families still need clear information, especially when children and youth provision changes from the normal term-time pattern.

Make holiday patterns visible

Do not assume regular attenders remember summer arrangements. Put the basics in one place so parents can check quickly.

  • Sunday provision: Say which Sundays include children groups, all-age worship or activity packs.
  • Events: List picnics, camps, youth nights and family socials with clear booking details.
  • Safeguarding: Keep parent-facing safeguarding and consent information easy to find from family pages.

Support people who are away

Summer is a chance to keep connection light and practical. A few well-chosen resources can help people stay rooted without overloading them.

  1. Share a simple summer prayer or reading plan.
  2. Publish any livestream or sermon links in a consistent place.
  3. Use email sparingly and make the subject line clear.

A good summer page reassures families that they have not missed the memo.

Use this month well

Use July to keep family information calm, current and mobile-friendly. That helps parents make decisions quickly during a busy season.

Ask Intent to review your church website if you want a clearer structure, cleaner templates, or a calmer route from first visit to real connection.
