# Church Text Message Templates

Announcements get lost in bulletins and email. Texts get read before the service starts. These templates cover weekly rhythms, events, volunteers, and care, written in a warm voice you can adjust to your congregation.

Merge fields like {first\_name} fill in automatically per recipient when you send with Quick Send Business. Swap the bracketed placeholders for your details.

## Services and announcements

### Service reminder

Copy

Good morning {first\_name}! Join us today at {time} for worship at {campus\_or\_address}. This week: {sermon\_series}. Doors open 15 min early. See you there!

### Weather cancellation

Copy

{church\_name} update: due to weather, {service\_or\_event} on {date} is canceled. Stay safe and warm. We'll gather again {next\_date}. Watch here for updates.

Urgent updates are where texting earns its keep. Send the moment the decision is made.
