Church bulletins, beautifully done for you.

The easiest first step this season is a free Advent bulletin cover: pick a style, add your church's name and logo, and see it in seconds (free for the first 40 churches, requests close Nov 20). If you'd like to go ahead with a plan or the Advent Set, email [email protected] and we'll send payment details and a short list of what we need.

Get your free Advent cover

Yes. One cover per church: the front panel of a letter-size bulletin, in your chosen style, with your church's name and logo (or text), as a PDF and PNG you can download right away and that we email to you. No card and no obligation, and nothing becomes a subscription. It's free for the first 40 churches, and requests close Fri Nov 20, 2026, 11:59 PM PT.

Your church name and logo (if you have one), dates and times, the order of worship, readings, hymn or song titles, and announcements. A Word doc, last week's bulletin, a photo, or a plain email all work. You don't need to format anything.

That depends on what your time is worth. Starter is $49 a month for a professionally refreshed template and 8 social graphics. Standard is $99 a month for a finished weekly bulletin plus 12 social graphics, so the bulletin no longer depends on someone's evenings. If you only need help for the season, the Advent Set is a one-time $39 ($29 early-bird when paid by Sun, Nov 15, 11:59 PM PT, one per church). Monthly plans can be cancelled anytime, so you can try one and stop if it isn't right. Annual plans give you 2 months free.

That's common, and we're glad to help. Below is a short, honest summary you can forward or read aloud at a meeting. Many churches start with the free Advent cover so the board can see a real design with the church's own name and logo before deciding.

Forwardable summary

LanternLetter Co. is a small design studio that makes church bulletins, service programs, and social media graphics. We send our order of worship and announcements in whatever form is easiest, and they send back print-ready files in a consistent design with our name and logo. They don't write content, so we keep full control of all wording, scripture, and liturgy.

• Cost: Starter $49/mo, Standard $99/mo (weekly bulletin done for us, plus 12 social graphics), Plus $179/mo. Annual options are $490 / $990 / $1,790 (2 months free). There's also a one-time Advent Set for $39 ($29 if paid by Nov 15).
• Commitment: no contract. We can cancel anytime, effective at the end of the paid period.
• Risk: they revise until we approve, and they refund in full if we cancel before final files are delivered. We own our final files.
• Payment: card, or an invoice to the church on request.
• Next step: a free Advent cover with our name and logo, at no cost or obligation.

Yes. By default you pay by card through Stripe or Payhip, and you get a receipt for every payment. If your church prefers to pay by invoice, just ask and we'll send one.

Yes. We design, and you supply the wording. We follow your liturgy, your order of worship, and your tradition as you send them. Titles such as Pastor, Minister, Priest, or Elder, and lines such as Communion, the Lord's Supper, or the Eucharist, can be kept, changed, or removed. Whether your service follows a lectionary and a set liturgy or a simple order of songs, sermon, and response, the layout follows you.

No. You supply the words, scripture, prayers, and liturgy, and we set them as you send them. If something looks like a mistake (a date that doesn't match, a missing line), we'll ask rather than guess. We never add theological content of our own.

Yours. We set scripture in whatever translation you send: NIV, ESV, KJV, NRSV, CSB, NKJV, NLT, or any other. If you'd like the translation named on the page, just tell us.

Only if your church holds the licence (for example, CCLI). Otherwise we list titles and numbers and leave space, so your congregation can use hymnals or screens as usual.

Bulletins and programs come as print-ready PDFs. Social graphics come as image files ready to post. On Plus, the digital bulletin is a screen-friendly version for email and phones. Where the product is a template (Starter and the Advent Set), you also get an editable file so you can type in the weekly details. If you need a particular format, ask and we'll tell you honestly whether we can provide it.

Either works. Files are set up for US Letter paper, so you can print on your office printer or send the PDF to a local print shop or copy center. If you need a different paper size, ask when you order. We don't print or mail anything ourselves. You get the files and stay in control of printing.

• Free Advent cover: instant preview and download on the site; emailed copy follows.
• Advent Set: your first design within 1 business day after we receive your details. The last order date for Christmas is Tuesday, Dec 15, 2026, 11:59 PM PT.
• Standard and Plus: send content by Tuesday at noon (PT), get a proof Wednesday and your final Thursday, every week.
• Starter: your refreshed template and graphics are delivered by the 25th of each month.
• Starting a new plan: when you sign up, we'll agree on the date of your first delivery together.

On Standard and Plus, content that arrives after Tuesday noon (PT) moves to the following week. If we can manage a Friday delivery, we'll tell you before we start, so you're never left guessing.

You see a proof before anything is final, and we revise within the original scope until you approve: a wrong date, a moved announcement, a layout that isn't quite right. On weekly plans, changes you send back on Wednesday's proof go into Thursday's final. If you ask for something outside your plan, like an extra flyer or a second program, we'll tell you first, and we never do or charge for extra work without your OK.

On Starter, we refresh your template each month and you type in the weekly details. On Standard, you email the order of worship and we send back a finished, print-ready bulletin every week, plus 12 social graphics a month instead of 8.

There's no contract. You can cancel anytime by emailing us. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your paid month (or paid year, on an annual plan), and you keep everything delivered up to then. There's no cancellation fee.

You can move up or down a plan anytime, and the change takes effect from your next billing period. We don't offer pauses, but you're welcome to cancel and start again later.

If you change your mind any time before your final files are delivered, we'll refund you in full. Once final files are delivered, we make things right with revisions instead of refunds. When you cancel a plan, future billing stops, but we don't refund part of a month or year that's already paid.

Your church does. Your final bulletins, programs, and graphics are yours to print, post, copy, and keep using as you like, including after you cancel. Your church's name, logo, and content always remain yours. We keep the rights to our own underlying templates and layouts, so please don't resell them as templates.

We use your logo, content, and contact details only to make and deliver your designs and to communicate with you. We never sell or share your information, and we never use your logo for anything else. When you cancel, we delete your files, logo, and content within 90 days. If you request a free Advent cover and don't place an order, we delete your logo files within 90 days. We keep your name, email and church details so we can send occasional seasonal emails (like Lent and Easter), and you can unsubscribe anytime.

Only with your written permission. Without it, your materials stay private.

Yes. We use what you send only to make your bulletin, and we never share it. We'd still suggest sending only what you'd be comfortable seeing in print, since that's where it's headed anyway.

LanternLetter Co. is a small, independent design studio run by Kane. We focus on one thing: helping small churches look as cared for on paper and online as they are in person. When you email us, you're writing directly to the person responsible for your designs, not a ticket queue. Write to [email protected] anytime.
