Eight Trends about Church BulletinsBy: Thom S. Rainer – www.Thomrainer.com
It is amazing to look at the total resources of time and money expended on
church bulletins. Because bulletins seem to be such a trivial issue, we often fail
to consider their impact or lack of impact. In reality, the impact is greater than
we might imagine. Not only do we expend significant resources on bulletins,
both guests and members tend to have pretty strong feelings about them.
Our team has been observing some major trends regarding bulletins. Here is
what we found thus far.
Most churches today still use church bulletins. They are important, if not
necessary, according to most church leaders today. Churches under 100 in
attendance are more likely not to use bulletins.
Church bulletins go by many different names today. Smaller churches tend to
still call them bulletins. For churches 200 attendance and higher, there is great
variety in the names: worship folder, worship guide, information guide, and
many more.
There is an obvious level of frustration among some leaders and members
about the contents of church bulletins. The most common frustration is about
what content is included and excluded. The second most common frustration is
content that is old and dated.
There are three common usages of church bulletins. The three most common
usages are: order of worship; church metrics or statistics; and sermon notes.
Most churches use greeters to hand out bulletins. These persons are also called
ushers in some churches. The distribution of the bulletin is considered an act of
hospitality or greeting in many churches.
Most guests expect to be handed something when they walk in the worship
center. So church leaders should realize that the bulletin is an opportunity to
connect with those guests.
The digital revolution and the green movement have not significantly
impacted the use of bulletins. Most churches still provide paper bulletins.
Another frustration among some church members is a sloppy bulletin,
particularly one that has grammatical errors. An entire genre of funny things
written in church bulletins has been an offshoot of these error-prone
publications.
Certainly in the context of important facets of corporate worship, church
bulletins likely will not rise to the top. But because they are so pervasive, and
because they do impact so many people, they should not be ignored either.
