Church bulletin

A church bulletin is a handout given to worshipers at a church service.

It can be thought of as a "program" for the worship service. While specific bulletins are as varied as the churches that distribute them, they typically contain a listing of what will go on during the worship service, including a listing of the hymns to be sung (and perhaps the lyrics themselves), text for responsive readings, and the topic for the sermon.

Often they will also include announcements of interest to the worshipers, such as birth, illness, and death announcements, prayer requests, and events that the house of worship will be holding.
