The bulletin has changed! Do you like it? Do you hate it? You may have noticed that the bulletin has more pages. I asked Judy to put in the whole service from the BAS so that anyone who was visiting on ‘Back to Church Sunday’, September 25, would only have the bulletin and the hymnbook to deal with. Now that we’ve done it once it is easier to do it again. I am planning to keep the whole service in the bulletin until November, and then ask for feedback. If it seems to be a good idea we’ll continue. If not we’ll go back to titles and page numbers and use less paper ~ The Rev. Mary Lysecki.
