After the retirement

Your secretary is retiring. Here is what happens to the bulletin.

The work she carried does not have to land on the pastor's desk, or on a volunteer who never asked for it.

When a longtime church secretary retires, more walks out the door than anyone realized: the bulletin file and the way it liked to be formatted, the worship slides, the password to the Facebook page, and the mental list of which announcement runs in which week.

Replacing the role is hard. A part-time office hire runs around $20,000 a year, and the search can take months. The bulletin still has to come out every single Friday while you look.

Church Office to Go carries the weekly production work instead. We produce the bulletin and worship slides for $25 a week per service, we can run your Facebook and Instagram for $200 a month, and the Essentials plan bundles all of it starting at $250 a month. You keep the parts of the office that need a human heart, and hand us the parts that need a Friday deadline.

You do not have to decide the future of the office job this month. Send us one Sunday's details and we will produce the bulletin and slides free, so the first week after the retirement party is already covered.

Cover the first Sunday.

Your first bulletin and worship slides are on us. Tell us when the retirement lands and we will take it from there.
