Microsoft Publisher Is Retiring: A Better Way for Churches to Create Print Bulletins

For years, many churches have depended on Microsoft Publisher to design their weekly print bulletins. It’s been a staple tool for pastors, administrators, and volunteers looking for a simple way to put their announcements into a bulletin format.

But here’s the challenge: Publisher is officially retiring soon. This means churches need a new solution—and scrambling last minute isn’t ideal.

If your church has relied on Publisher, now is the perfect time to discover a better, simpler way forward.

Why Churches Need a Publisher Alternative Now

• Publisher is going away – no more updates or support.
• Valuable time is being wasted – copying announcements from one channel to another.
• Bulletins need to be engaging – so people will actually read them during the week.

Finding an easy, affordable church bulletin software that your staff or volunteers can actually enjoy using is key.
