I can provide older newsletters if you need one. These newsletters can be posted in .pdf format, the same format as the present monthly newsletter. If you need an older ACUMC newsletter, just send me an email (bottom of page), let me know what month you need. I'll send you a return email with a direct link to the newsletter of your choice.
 

READ BELOW if you have trouble loading our Newsletters.

Several users have emailed me with problems loading our website Newsletter .pdf files with Adobe Acrobat’s version 10+ free reader. I had problems myself after upgrading my Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.2  to version 10.0 . The problem seems to arrive after upgrading Adobe Acrobat Reader to a newer version. So, I removed my version 10.0 and reinstalled the older version 9.2 and my problem went away.  It seems that the problem lies with versions 10.0 and up.  Older Adobe version 9.2 seems to work just fine. This file is available, free, from filehippo. This is their website:  www.filehippo.com/ It’s probably best to first uninstall your newer version before installing version 9.2.

Actually, I downloaded another free pdf file reader called "Fixit Reader".  It 's free, it also came from Filehippo. It set up easily on my 'puter and seems to do a good job reading my pdf files. It's quicker, also much smaller, than Adobe Acrobat Reader.

If you need help loading our Newsletters, email me at dan@applecreekumc.com or call me at my home phone, 330-601-0551 (local Wooster number thru Clear Picture).
 

NOTE: Our individual Newsletter articles are collected by Pastor Sam and our church secretary, with the help of many parishioners.

Our secretary then compiles our Newsletter using Microsoft Publisher. She saves it as an Adobe Acrobat .pdf  format (everyone can read this .pdf format by using a free program, Adobe Acrobat).

Finally she emails the Newsletter to me, I upload it to our website.  Thanks to everyone involved in creating our monthly Newsletter,    Dan

NEWSLETTER note: September 23, 2009

Our church Finance Committee and Administrative Council recently approved a plan whereby our church newsletter will be accessed on the church’s website and email reminders (with a link to the newsletter) will be sent when the newsletter is ready.

Ø      Paper copies will be printed only for those who do not have internet service and will be made available at the back of the sanctuary; we will no longer mail newsletters.  Arrangements will be made for those who are homebound or in a nursing home. 

Ø      If you are on the email prayer chain we have your address and do not need to collect it.

Ø      If you have internet access, and are not on the church’s email prayer chain, and wish to continue receiving the newsletter please send your email address to Dan Dalrymple at dan@applecreekumc.com

Ø      You may also call the church office with your email address.

Ø      We expect these changes to take place for the October/November newsletter.

Ø      Why the change? 

1.      We spend $400 a year on postage to mail newsletters and we are looking to save any way we can.

2.      We also go through a boat-load of paper, which also increases our cost by increasing our copier usage.  Each time we run the newsletter it puts 2,500 copies on the copier. 

3.      A lot time is also spent copying, folding, labeling and mailing all those newsletters. (We have to do 200 newsletters to get the bulk mailing rate).
