Rector's Ramblings
Bulletins are the stuff of church staff nightmares. They are important documents, to be sure, but they present a host of challenges in terms of creation, editing, printing, etc.  This is true of all parishes, no matter the type, size, and comprehensiveness of their bulletins.  I have never heard of a parish administrator or clergy person who says that bulletins are the most enjoyable part of their ministry or their week, and yet, because of their importance we produce them week in and week out.

At Christ Church our bulletins are a constant work in progress.  Overall, the bulletins in their current form are well received and appreciated, although there are some folks who are not yet used to them or simply don't like them.
