Bulletins!

Good day friends! It's wonderful to be writing this blog, and I hope that it is just as wonderful to be reading it. Today, I will be talking about a particular obsession of mine--bulletins! I know it's weird, but perhaps by the end of this post, I can convince you to hang on to those little pieces of paper longer than just an hour! So here goes nothing!


Hoarder of Bulletins! I love bulletins! Don't ask me why... there is just something about them! I don't know what it is, really. I do, however, have several theories:
1. I love organization and most bulletins are very good examples of something organized and formatted by an anal-retentive person. This is such an admirable quality. The movement of a worship service is oh so very important.
2. There is something about having a tangible piece of worship. It's like evidence. It's like a memory that you can literally hold on to.
3. Talk about a good resource! Can you say reference material?
4. 99% of the time, there is something about a worship service that I want to remember to eventually use one day. If I ever get around to organizing my drawer full of bulletins, I could put together a Word Doc of great ideas!
5.I have a not-so-good memory, and bulletins have great memories and reminders of events that I want to attend!
6. Sometimes I will take notes or write down quotes on my bulletin. If I take time to write it down, I should probably hold onto it!
7. I'm weird.

Psalms Final. I have a few projects to do for my Psalms final, all of which are really, really awesome! First, I need to compile a mini canon of 25 go-to psalms for my congregation. So essentially, I am choosing 25 psalms, organizing them, and giving a little bit of information about why these particular 25 are good to know (if you'd like a copy--please feel free to email me: ashley.reimold@gmail.com). Second, I have to put together a complete worship service around Psalm 90. This is where my bulletins will certainly come in handy! And finally, throughout the semester I had to journal through the psalms! It was one of those long and tedious tasks... but I must say it was totally worth it!

There should be another "Kingdom Quotes" post coming very soon! Hold steady through Holy Week, friends, Easter is just around the bend! =) The Lord be with you!
