Concordia Publishing House has a software system written for churches that
do what you want plus much more. They have 2 versions, one for the IBM pC
and the other for the Apple II.  Cost is around $1000 for software. They
also have package deals on the computer and/or software.

They will send you a demo for the software for a refundable deposit.

If you try it let me know how it goes.  Our church has some higher priorities
still for its money (like paying the electric bill!), but I would really
like to get us computerized.  Just a word processor would help our pastor
immensely.

Good Luck
