		<description>Thanks for the technical tip. As a tiny church, we have a pretty good "booklet ministry" -- a booklet of prayers/graces for families with kids, printed sermons to shut-ins, etc.

One additional idea: we do an outer wrapper for our order of service, printed on card stock, that is reusable from week to week. On it is the information newcomers want: info about the denomination, info about our congregation, a map of the building on the back showing restroom location and childcare location. Then the week's order of service and announcements get tucked inside. Long-time members know they can leave the cardstock cover behind to be reused next week; newcomers can take it with them; the office saves time on printing. And we have taken to printing our covers in color (using the church computer's color printer), with different cool images from our church each quarter -- the Tiffany mosaic behind the pulpit, one of the handmade footstools in the pews, etc.</description>
