Since the launch of our church tour leaflet, Look Around You, we have had a number of people ask if they can use the words on posters. To save you the trouble of making your own, we’ve now released a downloadable version of Look Around You, ready to print and display in your church.
Just visit our historic churches site to download, or click here to order copies of the Look Around You leaflet.
St Peter’s Church in Congleton opened up their building recently as part of a National Heritage Day. To help them understand the symbolism of the architecture, visitors were given copies of Look Around You, SGM Lifewords‘ reflective tour of a church building. The words of the booklet were also re-printed on posters around the building. “People appreciated the meditative walk around the church,” said DCC secretary Pauline Drew, “many thanks for your help and the very attractive way in which the gospel is presented.”
When we started our historic churches initiative, many practitioners suggested that we try and produce a generic church tour leaflet. Many churches have lots of visitors, but do not have the time or the expertise to create guides to the church building, or specific visitor materials.
Look Around You is our response – a guided walk around any church building on a pocket-sized fold-out card, using prayers and reflections to help visitors to engage with the spirituality of the place.
Look Around You is available to order now, and is already in use in a number of churches and cathedrals. To stock up before the summer season, visit our online ordering pages here.
