Hymn Board Numbers & Prayer Cards

Replacement Hymn Board Numbers & Prayer Cards

When the hymn board numbers at our church needed replacements we found that replacements were hard to come by. As I had a lot of fonts at hand I created my own replacements. They are presented here as a pdf file for free use. A few generic items were added for use when inserts or other special papers are used.

All images, except for the United Methodist Church logo, are from Corel Draw images. For the United Methodist Church, see www.umc.org.

This is my own personal contribution and not offically supported by the United Methodist Church: just giving credit to the logo owner here.

Printing Tips:

• Print on a heavy card stock.
• Use a yellow, or other color that contrasts well with black, and you get nicer looking numbers than black and white.
• A laser printer is really the way to go here: ink jet printers just don't print dark enough.

Adjusting Tips

Loose Numbers

Our hymn board had a small problem... the spacing on one row was just a little wider than it should of been. The result was numbers often started to fall out or do other improper things.

 

My solution was to get a small balsa wood square of the width of the slot the numbers rested in from a hobby store. Sanding can reduce the height if the wood is too high. Cutting the balsa wood to the right size and pushing it into the bottom of the slot solved the falling out problem.
