Inserts in Sunday bulletins
Inserts No More

(first published in the 10-16-11 issue of the Good Sam Notes)

Lately, we've had a virtual sea of requests for inserts into your Sunday bulletin. We have a new policy: no inserts.

This will save on paper, and save you from having to juggle a sheaf of papers as well as remembering to retrieve them from the pew before you leave.

If your ministry or church event has a registration form, flyer, or other piece you wish to share with the community, you'll need to hand them out to interested persons after the service.

 
Using the Copier
Office Policy on Copying

(previously published in the tidings)

In order to be faithful stewards of our budget and to manage rising office costs, all use of the photocopier is by staff and Treasurer only.

Ministry requests for copies must be submitted in advance to staff. For large copy jobs, please allow at least 5 working days. For quick, small copy jobs, 1-2 days notice is sufficient.

The copier is not available for ministry printing jobs on the day the bulletins are being run off, Sundays, Thanksgiving Week, or the weeks leading up to Christmas and Holy Week.
