This thread is for "Bulletins". I find them completely useless. What am I doing wrong or what did I miss? I'm one to jump directly into the middle and must have missed something key about bulletins. Do you use the bulletins? If so, what is your use case and process flow to that use case after the bulletin is "published"? I've been meaning to ask the group for a while. I didn't know about sign posting before picking up on it here, now I love the thing! So maybe bulletins will be the same way. Thanks in advance for any help or tips offered. Blessings!

  1. My church uses bulletins as our main way of getting our presentation to our congregation before service ever since Covid kind of forced us to go paperless... well for the time being anyways. After I create all the slides and formatting for the service (this includes removing auto-generated signals that overwrite the graphics) I go into the bulletin before its published and remove any slides that are redundant for non-in-service viewing. Then I personally like to set it to publish the morning before our service. Now my pastor or office manager can grab the link to that bulletin and email our entire church all our links that are needed for that service. I used to print out one copy for one of the pastors that has vision impairment but as of the last few months printing the bulletin just shows empty squares so I have no idea what's up with that. For song lyrics they are useless but I kinda understand why they are like that. I only set up the sign feed for my church the last month or so and its mainly just for announcements where as our bulletin is basically just an archive of that weeks presentation. TL;DR: Bulletins for email/mobile viewing when not in the building. Sign Feed for rotating announcements after service is over and during the rest of the week.

  2. , thanks for the suggestion. I had suspected it would be good for email, even if just for announcements or after service as a recap. I think I remember someone mentioning that they add note pages to theirs for taking notes, something like that. Does your church do "subscriptions" to the bulletin? Or is a system wide push? Blessings,

  3. Of course! I honestly enjoy helping others learn about Proclaim's features. I tried to get members of the congregation signed up for auto emails but it may be too much trouble for those that aren't tech savvy (of which my church is many) so we just do a system wide push and then send it via pastor's email.
