Happy Snap Post

Happy Snaps exist to showcase the real life of hm.church — who we are, what Sundays feel like, and what people can expect when they walk through the doors.

Select your images
Go to GDrive → download → upload to Canva 3–10 high-quality photos that capture the life, atmosphere, and people of that Sunday.
Write a relevant caption
Comment on what happened that Sunday and mention the next 2 events coming up.
- If there were child dedications, mention it.
- If it was a general Sunday, keep it warm and simple (e.g. “We love spending Sundays with you!”).
- Add in next events like “Next Up: Event 1, Date, What is it. Event 2, Date, What is it.”
Be careful with kids’ photos
Do not use clear photos of children’s faces unless you are completely sure parent permission has been given.
Avoid the old school hall
Do not use photos taken in the old school hall.
Use familiar faces
Only post photos of people who regularly attend hm.church or you know currently attend.
Show demographic variety
Aim for a healthy mix of ages, genders, and backgrounds — avoid posting only one type of demographic.
