Step 1
Determine what the front of the bulletin will look like. Decide if it will carry a standard church logo or if you should purchase bulletins with preprinted pictures on them.
-
Step 2
Create a layout. Decide whether you want your announcements first and then your service information and if you want anything on the back page. Pick a place for important announcements. Have a general idea of where you would like to place all the pieces of information.
-
Step 3
Arrange the order of service (songs, prayer, offering, message). Think of how the service will progress from opening to end.
-
Step 4
Type the song information in the appropriate space. You may want to include title, page number and songwriter.
-
Step 5
Type the special music, slides or presentations in the appropriate space. Letting the congregation know that there is something special happening in the service is a great way to keep the audience engaged.
-
Step 6
Type the announcements in the appropriate spaces. Be sure to include upcoming events and the dates, times and contact person for each event.
-
Step 7
Type the volunteer information in the appropriate space. This is useful for nursery workers, ushers, greeters and other church workers to remember when they are needed to complete their commitment.
-
Step 8
Include appealing graphics that are appropriate for the announcements they illustrate.
-
Step 9
Edit the bulletin. Be sure to have someone else look for grammatical mistakes and typos.
-
Step 10
Print the bulletin in advance. You want to time to work around any issues that might otherwise delay the printing.
