Content Description
From the Collection:
The Church Bulletin Collection contains bulletins from Seventh-day Adventist churches from around the world, though the bulk are from the United States. The bulk of the bulletins are from the 1970s to the current time. This is not a closed collection, meaning we will continue to add new bulletins as they become available to us.
A review of a range of church bulletins can reveal changing worship styles across regions of the country and over time. The bulletins show the order of service for both Sabbath school and the church service, or as it is sometimes called, Divine Service. The pastor(s) is listed and in many cases a number of the key church officers as well. There is also information about any associated church school or higher education institution as well as local church announcements of activities and ministries. Quite often you will find some financial information concerning offering received and church budgets. If the church is in a building program, there may be financial reports concerning the raising of funds for the building.
