What type of recycle bin do you use? I'm not sure that my church would like the ones issued by the recycling company to set in the narthex.

Ha ha. I actually feel guilty for throwing bulletins away after church. Most of the bulletins I get have Bible verses and prayer requests, etc. on them so I keep them in hopes of looking at the information during the week. I never do, though and the bulletins pile up in my purse until I do a massive cleanup (which usually happens about 1x per month)

oh no! i never have dared to give a bulletin back to the usher
( especially because we only have one service and they never come back to their “handing bulletin positions” )
i just inconspicuously leave them behind on the pew .
i’m a terrible person .. i litter .. in church .. *gasp*

HA! Jokes on you guys. Our church literally has “Bulletin Recycle” bins at the doors so you’re SUPPOSED to drop them in there on the way out.

ha ha… not that I needed an excuse. I would just strategically set my stuff down on the welcome center to “look for a pen”? and then forget to pick it back up. Oops! Was that mine?

I haven’t taken a bulletin in almost three years now…. The ushers still look at me like I have lost my mind. The bulletins haven’t had the order of service on them in about a year. Ever since one of our pastor mused about what he would do different if he was “in charge” of a church again, one of the things would be to get rid of the order of service printed in the bulletin. So now all the bulletins have in them is the songs for the worship packet and pages of announcements that are projected before each service anyway. And because I volunteer for AV I get a copy every Thursday in my email inbox.

Where I live, that bulletin might as well have a picture of George Washington on the front… On Sundays, Firehouse Subs gives you a free drink or dessert with your sub if you show your church bulletin. Needless to say, we are regulars. Mmm, mmm good!

Too funny. There is a local pizza buffet in our area that gives free drinks on Sunday if you bring in your church bulletin. I lost some good sermon notes one week before I figured out that said buffet would keep my bulletin! Now I am less than “green.” If we are going there for lunch, I have to get an extra bulletin on the way out of church so I have one to let the restaurant keep and one so I can keep my sermon notes.

And we don’t use offering envelopes either. A collection sack is passed around after the sermon, and you tithe through your bank. (the tithe is called your “standard voluntary contribution” and a lot of jokes are made about that because there are guidelines on how much you are supposed to give, depending on how much you make, if you’re married or have kids etc. For some weird reason 2 single people would pay more than 2 married people. They really take that “let’s marry everyone off” thing seriously)
