See that's the thing..  Most of the things churches need are general office
applications - something StarOffice or Openoffice can take care of. 
Calendar software - ical.  Email, netscape.  Layout software for bulletins -
now that is a really good question!  I would say Openoffice or StarOffice
again, but to be honest I really haven't tried doing a bifold document in
there..  No problems though if it's just a single sheet w/ grfx though.
