Outline

1	Welcome to the Tour of the Print Shop and the Making of The Gospel Trumpeter Many readers have expressed an interest in knowing how The Gospel Trumpeter is produced. This slideshow takes you on a tour of the Print Shop of the Church of God, God’s Acres, Newark, Ohio. The tour starts with a computer-printed mock-up of The Gospel Trumpeter. However, a lot of work has transpired before we get to this part. After the message is preached, it is first transcribed, then edited and formatted into the first page you will see on this tour. Volunteers, too numerous to mention, work from start to finish to help bring the printed version of The Gospel Trumpeter to your home. We hope you enjoy your tour. <click mouse to proceed>
