How to Make a Church Bulletin for Women's Day
A fitting bulletin for Woman's Day can be more than a helpful notice. It can become a keepsake for a church's parishioners. Woman's Day, also known as Women's Day or as International Women's Day, is a celebration of the strength and accomplishments of females in the world today. The date of observance is March 8, during the month that is known as "Women's History Month." The Woman's Day observance finds recognition in religious services in the form of congregational acknowledgement of the contributions and worth of Christian women. When creating a bulletin for the special service, ensure that it reflects the admiration deserved by the ladies it honors.

Select a graphic for the cover to fit the occasion. A stock photo of a lady or group of woman could suffice. However, a picture of the church's ladies group makes the bulletin more personal. Place this graphic on the cover, formatted to fit the church's regular bulletin layout.

Choose a biblical quotation to accompany the front graphic. A short passage from the book of Ruth or a descriptive quotation concerning a virtuous woman is appropriate. Imprint the quote over the cover picture.

Place service information on the first interior page of the bulletin. This information should include all planned activities for the day, including the subject of the sermon and the clergy presiding. The start and finish times, along with any special performances or readings, should be included.

4
Inscribe a biblical passage concerning women on the second inside page of the bulletin. Proverbs 31:10-31, the description of the virtuous woman, is an option as well as more modern poems and passages concerning the strength of Christian females.

Include a list of female parishioners if possible. If the church size is small enough, use the final or back page of the bulletin to list the names of women who attend the services as a personal honor to them.

Tips & Warnings
If the church bulletin is typically a one-page piece, use a picture of an assemblage of women as a background. Place a passage concerning women at the top, the service information at the bottom, and a second biblical passage as a closing remark.
If you plan on using a picture of a lady's group for the bulletin, obtain permission from the group before using the photo.
