Death to the Church Bulletin
(Filed under: Examples)Tim Schraeder writes "June 22 was a sad day at Park Community Church, we lost a dearly beloved friend ... our weekly program."
The choice might not fit every church to throw out the bulletin, but the exercise they went through to come up with the decision would be good for any church. Often we do things for one simple reason--that's what we've always done. By taking a closer look at the people that make up Park Community Church and the pros and cons of the bulletin, the team at Park realized there was a better way. They didn't just get rid of the bulletin, it was replaced with something that worked better for the church.
My guess: this new option will be read and passed around much more than their old printed piece. Read Tim's blog entry for a blow-by-blow account.

We just did the same thing and used the url www.NoMoreBulletin.com to help us make the transition. No complaints, and 2K a month saved!
