When you email Communications@ap.church, please be as clear and concise with your request. Please notate in your email if you want your information to appear in a specific area. Also notate specifically when and where your meeting/class/program is meeting. Lastly, in the subject line, please include the title of your ministry.
When requesting, please note that information needs to be submitted well ahead of time. A good rule of thumb is at least 10+ days prior to publication date.
