Bulletin inserts

All congregations participating in Climate in the Pulpits are encouraged to distribute bulletin inserts, ideally as part of the worship service, and re-collect the filled-in postcards on the spot, perhaps in a collection plate as part of the offering.

If your congregation already told us how many bulletin inserts you need, the inserts you requested will be mailed to your congregation. If you need more, you may find .pdfs below that can be printed and copied, two to a page.
