Beginning with the next issue of the Baptist Message, the weekly
paper will be printed on an improved quality of newsprint, according to Editor
Lynn P. Clayton.
“We are delighted to make this improvement,” Clayton
said. “The improved quality of paper will make the text and photographs
clearer and easier to read and see.”

Lynn P. Clayton.
“We are delighted to make this improvement,” Clayton
said. “The improved quality of paper will make the text and photographs
clearer and easier to read and see.”
Clayton said the improvement is made possible by an increased
allocation in the Louisiana Baptist Convention Cooperative Program Budget.
“We are thankful for the help of the Louisiana Baptist
Conventions Executive Board,” Clayton added. “We think the improvement
will be money well spent.”
The 80-plus congregations that use the Baptist Messages
church newspage service will especially benefit.
“The churches that use the back page of the Baptist Message
for their church newsletter will have a better communication piece,” Clayton
said. “We have already had one church begin using the service because we
are improving the newsprint. We think our present users will benefit from the
improvement, and we hope other churches will begin using this money and time
saving service.”
The Baptist Message newspage service enables churches to print
their local newsletter on the back page of the Baptist Message for $22.50 per
use, plus one cent per name over 200. The church may also use the inside back
page for only $22.50 with no additional charge. The church must subscribe to
the Baptist Message for each family they wish to receive the newsletter.
Subscription rates are $7.75 per year per subscription. The
newsletter service is for churches with 200 or more names on their mailing lists.
The Baptist Message also provides an Add-on service for churches
with mailing lists from five to 199 names.
The churches participating in this program send their newsletter
to the Baptist Message, who then reproduces them on 8 1/2 by 11 sheets of paper
and inserts them in the Baptist Message going to the churches memberships.
Churches using this service must subscribe to the Baptist Message
for each address they want to receive their newsletters, and pay 16 cents for
each individual insert.
“We know for a fact that these services save churches time and money,”
Clayton said. “We are pleased to offer this service with this upgraded
newsprint.”
