Childhood Church Memories (The Bulletin)


After learning Bible stories in Sunday School using the flannelgraph, and after walking into the worship auditorium and glancing over at the wooden record board, one would pick up

Memory 3: The Church Bulletin

I am not referring to the new three fold bulletin, or the bulletin that acts as a new member card/offering envelope/rearview mirror decoration, or the bulletin that gives every detail of the full service (sermon notes or benediction song). I am referring to the simple order of worship bulletin with hymn numbers and who is keeping the nursery. Bean buyer and I would use these simple bulletins as art paper. Oh the artwork we created!

I never knew of anyone who made their bulletin into a spit ball gun.

Hey, remember the continuous pipe world we created by connecting the bulletins each week?! Remember how we were soooo proud of how big it got?! Remember how many times your dad rolled his eyes when we showed him and how he didn't believe us when we said we were listening while we drew?! Oh, those were the days . . .

I never built anything with the bulletins. Instead, I used a much sturdier supply: the hymnals. Boy, you could stack those things and make amazing forts. Unbeatable.
