As you prepare for your church’s New Year service, keep in mind the New Year’s bulletins that we have available. These bulletins commemorate the spirit of the New Year with sharp, fresh images. For example, the bulletin to the left combines a beautiful picture with rich imagery to welcome the New Year.
Since New Year’s Day falls on a Friday this year, the following Sunday comes at an ideal time at the very beginning of the New Year. Here are some suggestions of what to include in a New Year’s bulletin, apart from the ordinary.
- Suggestions for New Year’s resolutions of a spiritual nature.
- A Bible reading schedule for 2010.
- Bible verses that provide guidance for the New Year (Jeremiah 29:11; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Isaiah 40:31)
- Scriptural advice on how to keep New Year’s resolutions.
- A theme verse to memorize for the year.
Even if people do not pay attention to the preaching, are not interested in the singing, or do not participate in the worship, they will most likely read the bulletin that they receive. Make sure that your New Year’s bulletin is packed with encouragement, hope, and instruction for the New Year.
