The Nightmare Before Christmas


It's every Parish Administrator's worst nightmare: 190 40-page service bulletins to be produced – in color – for Christmas Eve and Christmas, and the photocopier breaks down half-way through production.

Take deep breaths. Think of mountain streams. Call Mike at Ricoh.


We're pretty sure Mike didn't want to spend his Christmas Eve afternoon this way, either.

Just to let you know, I think the bulletins for the Christmas season have been lovely -- thank you for the extra time & work. The photos are beautiful and the color touches inside said "today is special"...
