This is not necessarily a reflection of the new ELW hymnal, but I'm increasingly troubled by the available artwork for bulletin covers through the SundaysandSeasons.com web portal. This year the stick figure drawings look even more like cartoons.
Please understand: I am all for artwork that gets us to think in new ways about God and the Christian faith. Yet this new series makes the regular service bulletin cover look like a children's bulletin. I can't help but imagine that this has an effect on piety in the long run.
