Free Articles for Bulletins & Newsletters

These flyers are designed to be used as bulletin inserts or newsletter inserts. For example, they could be used for fifth Sunday-of-the-month reminders of your congregational Reconciliation Ministry. They may also be utilized as an opportunity for people to give an offering to Ambassadors of Reconciliation. You can draw attention to your local Ministry of Reconciliation and teach your congregation how to deal with daily conflict in their lives. You have permission for copying and distributing, see the note on the bottom of the inserts. The files are in Word document format so you can add a message about the ministry in your congregation (see the blank area). If you have more ideas on how to use these inserts, let us know. We’d love to hear them.
