Are printed bulletins still needed in church?

In a world of blogs, tweets, websites, video, Facebook pages, and PowerPoint, are printed bulletins still needed in the church? Short answer: YES! Here are some reasons why: 1) Printed bulletins are often a visitor's only way to understand what is going on at the service, what makes your church unique, what traditions you observe. 2) Printed bulletins provide the information that links the people who attend the primary weekend services with the church events that take place during the week, at other locations, or in the months ahead. 3) The printed church bulletin gives every person who attends your church, whether a regular attendee or a visitor, a way to connect with all the other communication channels of the church, in other words, visitors often need to see in print that you have a website, Twitter feed, or Facebook page. 4) A bulletin is taken home and can remind visitors about your church, explain the Christian faith, and provide links that can change their life.
