From the Webside "Church Marketing Sucks" http://www.churchmarketingsucks.com/archives/2005/08/reasons_to_use.html
"I worked with our student ministry on project last year when our High School and J-High dates and times to meet changed. The theme for that was "Change is Good." So I had the idea of sending out diapers instead of postcards.
We literally bought 750 diapers, adhered a small postcard INSIDE The diaper with the new information and a fun tagline about change is good to tie in the diaper just in case they didn't get the correlation. Then we tabbed the diapers shut using newsletter circles and sent them bulk mail (for about .16/piece!)
It was amazing how many calls we got. If you got a diaper in the mail (no packaging - JUST A DIAPER and when you open it, the message is inside) - wouldn't you want to look at it? That was a fun project. ;)"
I love this idea. Too weird?
Next Meeting
Wednesday July 30th
7:00 St. Stephen's Parish Hall
Over the break we will be working in small groups to plan the half hour sunday evening services for the Fall. We will reconvene in July to check on the progress of this and to share our experiences with field trips to experience other alternative services.
We welcome everyone who is curious about the new service or interested in being involved in the planning of it to join us for our weekly discussions.

I think parents of babies would love this idea. If you didn't "get" the connection it might be a poopy idea.
How about other kinds of change?
coins
Or will the new (post 9/11) postal regulations allow this?
Just me being negative, raining on the parade...
