'News for the pews'

Included with the March edition of e-HUM (the electronic edition of the Hoosier UM News) you may have noticed the latest addition, the e-HUM Bulletin Insert. The Hoosier UM News staff amusingly refers to the Bulletin Insert as "news for the pews."

"What makes the Bulletin Insert unique is that it is written with the first-time visitor in mind," according to Matt Carlisle, editor of e-HUM. "The copy avoids 'churchspeak' and acronyms and provides up-to-date church news as well as ways for those 'in the pews' to get involved. The e-HUM Bulletin Insert is meant to compliment a church's Igniting Ministry initiative."

The e-HUM Bulletin Insert is a "quick read" digest containing short news briefs and photos. It is a service of Indiana Area UMC Communications.

This black and white (pdf) download is available each month for Indiana United Methodist churches to include in their Sunday bulletin or to distribute as a handout.

Churches simply need to download and print the document.

Congregations may reproduce as many copies of the e-HUM Bulletin Insert on their copiers as needed. The 5.5" by 8.5" finish size should fit most bulletins. To view and download the latest edition of the e-HUM Bulletin Insert, visit www.inareaumc.org/e-hum_downloads.htm.
