Your church bulletin is packed with helpful info—but it’s usually handed out once, read briefly (maybe), and then forgotten. What if you could extend its value and turn that same content into weekly digital touchpoints that keep your church engaged online?
Good news: You can. With a little planning, your Sunday bulletin can fuel your website, social media, and email all week long.
Here’s how to make it happen.
1. Start with What You’re Already Doing
Look through your current bulletin. It probably includes:
- Announcements
- Upcoming events
- Prayer needs
- Volunteer opportunities
- Sermon notes or Scripture
These are all potential content pieces—already written, already relevant.
2. Build a Weekly Content Plan Around It
Take what’s in the bulletin and spread it out over the week. For example:
- Monday: Share a devotional or quote from the sermon
- Tuesday: Highlight an upcoming event with a reminder or registration link
- Wednesday: Post a prayer prompt from the prayer list
- Thursday: Feature a ministry or volunteer team with a short story or spotlight
- Friday: Post a reminder about Sunday’s service with a personal invite
One print document becomes five digital posts.
3. Use Visuals to Make It Engaging
Don’t just copy and paste. Use visuals to catch attention:
- Turn sermon points into quote graphics
- Use event images or stock photography for reminders
- Share candid shots from recent church life
Tools like Canva make it easy to create branded, consistent visuals in just a few clicks.
4. Update Your Website Weekly
Your bulletin is also a great source for web content:
- Create a simple “This Week at [YOUR CHURCH]” blog or homepage section
- Update your event calendar with the latest details
- Upload the sermon notes or audio
It keeps your site fresh—and shows visitors you’re active.
5. Use It in Your Email Newsletter
Instead of writing a separate email, adapt your bulletin into a weekly newsletter.
- Short devotional
- 2–3 quick announcements
- A highlight from church life
Your email list gets the same info—but now it’s delivered directly and read throughout the week.
Final Thoughts
You’re already gathering content every Sunday. With a few simple tweaks, you can extend its reach, reinforce your mission, and keep your church engaged beyond the weekend.
