Families often have unconnected schedules that
make it hard to interact as a unit, but many businesses will adapt to a
family's religious participation if only they are asked. When family members
share time at church it not only gives them the important times of prayer and
learning about God's love, but may also make a topic for further conversation
at a later time. This can draw families together which adds to the support and
nurturing among the individuals. Some of the best church bulletin covers depict
various stages of family development. Newly married couples, mothers and
fathers with children and other extended family members are often
portrayed.
When different people attend a church service they may each get a slightly
different idea from the message that has been delivered. That isn't the only
way families can bond through the church. Many churches have recreational
activities such as ball games, choirs, youth groups, and dinners for members to
participate in. Even activities away from the church property can bring
individuals closer together as they work toward a common goal. Good church
bulletins will have datelines of activities with accurate information for
families to choose how to be of service. Other families can work together, get
to know each other, and further their witness to the world by drawing strength
and compassion through service to God.
One never knows who might be touched and changed through the witness of a
family. Sometimes a family member may not be as churched as another, but prayer
and sharing of events printed in church bulletins can spark an idea that may be
of interest and draw that person into an activity with a family member that
further leads into more sacred experience with salvation. That is where the
blessing is. The best church bulletin covers may contain a biblical
passage or idea that can be discussed.
A bulletin that has some busywork for youngsters within it can make them more
comfortable and help them to listen more during a church service. Young ears
pick up many things while hands are occupied so never think a child may not
have a question once they leave. Questions can even be instigated about the
picture on the best church bulletin covers and growth can be shared. This can
also add to trust and reassurance about God as well as family members which can
be so important in the life of a youth.
When churches reach out to families in need they may start a snowball effect of
marvelous sharing. Taking a church bulletin for their family to share along
with offering more detailed information to any questions they might have may
open an opportunity for them to grow spiritually within their own family,
becoming part of God's precious family. It can give them time at their own
leisure to look at what a church has to offer and how they might become part of
that ministry. Written word has always been an important part of the church and
bulletins continue to be an aid to more and more families interacting
together.
