No Bulletins for 6 Weeks

on September 12th, 2008

This is a bit scary – we’re not going to do a bulletin/program in our student ministry for 6 weeks as we run through 40 Days of Love here at Saddleback. We’ve always printed up the message outline for students to fill in, but we’re giving that a rest for a few weeks.

We’re still giving them something to take notes on – everyone for the 1st couple of weeks will get a small memo pad with a series sticker on the front, and then we drop in some labels and stamps throughout for them to journal, take message notes and write down thoughts. The idea being that they have a record of a 40-day journey, rather than 6 bulletins at the end of the series.

Just thought I would share the idea – hope it works!

We stopped printing them for 6 weeks last year. We never went back to doing them. Turns out nobody really noticed. Crazy.
