For any of you that are pastors or other type of educators, or who work with such people, and are interested in how we approach the existance of new technologies, The Soul in Cyberspace might be a good book to check out. First let me say that I have not personally read this book, so if anyone has or does, please feel free to comment with reviews you have.

This book does not address the "how to" of technologies, but rather what it means that we use them, how it has affected our perception/approach to truth, and how it affects our soul. As I said, I haven't read it, so I can't give you too many more details, but the basic concept could make a great starting point for a Sunday school, confirmation, adult forumn, or other type of educational discussion dealing with how we use the internet and what role we let it play in our lives!

You print your newsletter, you fold them up, then stick them shut so they stay folded. I have a feeling many congregations just take the tape dispenser, seal their newsletters, and send them away. Have you ever tried to actually open a newsletter sealed this way?

Don't get me wrong, tape can be just fine, but some clear tapes are not designed to rip very easily and guess what, THEY DON'T! To save your members a headache (and reduce the chances of them ripping the newsletter to shreds either by trying to open it or through frustration), test out your tape. If you need a sharp object to open it, get different tape or try perforated seals, like the ones from Communication Resources.
