Kick off the new year by giving parishioners a reason to visit your church website: add a poll about new year’s resolutions. You might ask, What are your new year’s resolutions? and include the following choices:

• Pray more
• Eat better
• Lose weight
• Quite smoking, drinking or drugs [you might break these out, depending on your audience]
• Exercise more
• Reduce debt
• Go to Mass more
• Get organized
• Learn a new skill
• Volunteer more
• Find a new job
• Spend more time with family/friends
• Travel
• Find love
• Stop having extra- or pre-marital sex [if you want to offer an edgy choice]
• Limit use of pornography [ditto]
• Participate in parish mission [plug a major upcoming church event]

We quickly generated 74 responses on my parish’s site with this poll.

What options would you add?
