Someone pointed to a date in the program yesterday to draw to my attention that it said 2007 and it is clearly 2008. This presents the problem in every church. People don't read the program. Even if they think they're reading it, they're not. (As an aside, there was an error in it, but that wasn't it.)
The announcement was for the upcoming series, "When Pennies Pinch Back". That series was one of our most practical of 2007. The announcement reads just that way. Then it says that we're bringing it back this year with all new teachings.
I'm looking forward to the series. For the most part I believe that we'll have a series on finances and relationships every year by one name or another, because they are such crucial issues in everyone's life, and they are in a constant state of change. For the money side, Jesus talked more about money than he did heaven and hell. Seems he thought it was topic worthy of teaching and one that needed revisiting.

Reading is one of the most difficult tasks to perform and yet we take it for granted. If mis-reading the bulletin causes controversy, what about reading the BIBLE? Borrowing from your words is a sad commentary on the church today ... People don't read the Bible. Even if they think they're reading it, they're not. This presents the problem in every church.
READ THE WORD -- DO WHAT IT SAYS. That is a topic worthy of teaching and one that needs revisiting!
