Summer sermon series ideas and graphics

Summer 2027 is 35 weeks away.Starts Sunday, June 6, 2027.

Questions

Summer planning questions

When should a summer series start in 2027?

A summer series usually runs from Sunday, June 6, 2027 through Sunday, August 29, 2027. Aim to have your graphics finished by Sunday, May 9, 2027.

How long should a summer sermon series be?

Anywhere from six to twelve weeks. Stand alone weekly topics work best because summer attendance is irregular.

What graphics does a church need for summer?

A series title slide, a matching worship background, and social posts for stories and the feed are the core. Make one title slide and a set of week slides so each Sunday has its own name in the same style. Square and story posts keep the series visible for people who are traveling.

How much does a summer graphics kit cost on pixelchurch.co?

The four-image starter kit (title slide, worship background, social story and square post) uses 4 credits, one per image. Week slides, lower thirds and Spanish versions are 1 credit each. The 7-day free trial needs no card and includes enough credits for a first kit.

What makes a good summer sermon series?

Weeks that stand on their own. A series of parables, psalms or characters lets someone miss two Sundays for vacation and still jump back in without feeling lost.
