With Microsoft Publisher being retired, many congregations are searching for a new solution for newsletters, bulletins, brochures, and other print publications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This workshop focuses specifically on using Canva as a practical replacement for Publisher and other traditional print-layout programs. Participants will learn how to create and manage multi-page documents, design print-ready publications, and prepare files for both in-house printing and commercial print vendors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using real-world church examples, we&#8217;ll explore the creation of newsletters, bulletins, brochures, ministry guides, event materials, and other common congregational publications. We&#8217;ll also discuss best practices for design layouts, document organization, and techniques that help churches produce professional-looking printed materials while saving time and resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re new to Canva or already use it regularly for digital communications, this session will help you expand your skills and confidently create the printed resources your congregation relies on every week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who Should Come<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pastors, church staff,
