Reformation Pentecost Passover Ramadan Id al Adna Id al Fitr A list of some worship bulletins and their themes may be found within the most current edition of NAVSUP Pub 2002 (Section II— Forms). The worship bulletins in which outlines for religious services may be printed can be “open purchased” or ordered on MILSTRIP Requisition (DD 1348) directly from Naval Publications and Forms Center, 5801 Tabor Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19120. For Marine Corps activities, the worship bulletins are ordered through the unit/activity supply office. Religious Program Specialists should order an adequate but not excessive supply of worship bulletins. Orders for large quantities should be placed early so as to provide the lead time needed for procurement and stocking. P R E P A R A T I O N O F W O R S H I P BULLETINS.—The photo-ready copy of an order of worship is typed in its final form on a worship bulletin. After it is typed, it is usually photographed and placed on a dupli- cating master. Use of the photo-ready copy is especially desirable when a number of an- nouncements need to be placed in a single wor- ship bulletin. The material can be reduced in size in order to provide space for a maximum number of announcements in a standard size bulletin. The standard worship bulletin form is 8-1/2 inches (from top to bottom) by 11 inches (from side to side). The form is divided in half, conse- quently, one page of the bulletin is typed on each half. The form is 132 typing spaces wide (for 12-pitch type), therefore, each side (page) will be 66 spaces wide. Experience has shown that typed lines con- sisting of 54 spaces on each side or page works well. The outer left margin and the outer right margin should each be four spaces. This leaves eight spaces each to the left of center and right of center. More space is needed in the center to allow for folding the bulletin. FIRST STEP.—Using the illustration in figures 6-6A and B as an example, clear all of the typewriter tabs and set the left margin four clear spaces from the left edge of the paper. This will give the correct point to begin typing for the body of the bulletin on the left side. Next, space 53 times and set the tab. This setting will serve as the right margin for the left side of the bulletin. Return the typewriter carriage to the left margin, count off 26 spaces and set the tab. This setting will be the centering point for headings, song 287.38A(M1) Figure 6-6A.—Preparation of worship bulletins—12 pitch. 287.38B(M1) Figure 6-6B.—Preparation of worship builetins—10 pitch. 6-10
