As we all know, this is a busy season for parishes. However, you can help yourself in a few weeks’ time by planning today. Start drafts of your Christmas Eve and Christmas Day service materials this week. You probably will not get them finalised, but even having a draft version ready to go now will make you much happier on December 23.
If you want to download a ready-to-go bulletin, there are bulletins available for all three BAS liturgical years and the full BCP liturgical year on the Diocesan website. These bulletins outline the movement of the service and reference page numbers in the liturgical texts used. These bulletins are available for download in Word or PDF format and can be printed on a single page, double-sided. The Word version bulletins are fully editable and may be changed in any way to suit your parish's needs. To download the bulletins, please visit https://edmonton.anglican.ca/parish-info/pages/service-bulletins.
Give yourself the early Christmas gift of pre-planning. It is the gift that keeps on giving!!
