Ulitzer95 12,654 Posted February 19, 2021 QO? Says he died Tuesday so he was already dead by the time I had posted the news he was ill. -- @Grim Up North A lot of churches put the "Prayers" section in their bulletins online, usually published weekly or fortnightly and can be downloaded as a PDF. It can be a useful tool, but for DDP purposes you'd have to spend a lot of time sieving through names to find someone notable so probably not worth it. Though sometimes if they have a unique name, they stick out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
