Simplest Newsletter I once had a church assignment where I sent a list of seldom seen sisters a message in the mail each month. I started writing a newsletter to them. My goal was to keep these less-active sisters connected with our church. I wanted it to be an easy transition for them when they returned by knowing what was going on. As a church secretary, I expanded on the idea. This example shows you the simplest form I've used, but most of the last year I had a spotlight where I took a picture of a sister and wrote a paragraph about her (including her church assignment). Hopefully, this helped folks old and new, get to know people. This SugarDoodle link was my inspiration: http://www.sugardoodle.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6532:relief-society-newsletter-template&catid=2650:-sp-801&Itemid=200411 I have also included regular short "articles" entitled Pursuit of Excellence which encouraged goal setting, Provident Living a preparedness feature, as well as Today's Family and a 3-Month Clip & File Food Storage Recipes. Interspersed were really good quotes. I put in phone numbers for the church leaders and contact people. For better viewing of the newsletters, click on each picture to enlarge.
