Church websites

As always when I'm out of town, I've been using the web to figure out where I'm going to church tomorrow. Obviously some parishes don't realize how important the website can be. One site claims that it's Holy Week, so can I really trust what it says about service times? And I really don't think we need every new page to play a hymn. The best site is so regularly updated that it actually has a copy of tomorrow's bulletin on line, so that (if I were so minded) I could even decide whether to go there on the basis of whether I like the hymns. But that's the place I always go when I'm visiting my sister and her family, so I think I'll try somewhere else. There's a nearby parish whose 10:30 service is described as "Traditional with Hymnal Music," which certainly sounds better than the 9:15 "Contemporary Praise & Worship." Still, it would be even better if it told me whether it's Rite I or Rite II, and a bulletin would be ideal.
