[PRCo] Re: Interesting Item On PTM Website

[John Swindler]

Need a church bulletin???  Why not just ask??  There are about 6-7 years worth of church bulletins on my wife's computer from her church secretary days.  

 

You could have also asked Jim Shuman a few years ago, but he is now in a nursing home.  Make that quite a few years ago.  He too put together his church's bulletin in 1990s.

 

Cheers

John
