CHRISTIAN WORSHIP
Christian Worship: Service Builder® offers an intuitive and effective workflow. Planning begins by selecting a day from the lectionary calendar and selecting an order of service—whether one of the standard settings or any number of customized options. Once the hymns have been added, it is possible to generate a print-ready worship folder or screen-ready slide deck in a matter of minutes. Worship planners may further customize the display of every element of the service in a visual interface (see opposite page). The application offers contextual suggestions to speed the process of planning and preparation and provides powerful resources to manage a local congregation’s entire library of liturgical texts, local customizations, and imported resources.
Christian Worship: Playlist
The successor to HymnSoft, an optional package with Christian Worship: Service Builder, called Christian Worship: Playlist, will deliver high-quality audio files to assist congregations when a musician is not available.
Built-in and customizable print templates make it fast and easy to generate a standard worship folder and a large-print version with just one click. Powerful layout options are available for every element of the service, if desired. Like the customizations you’ve made? Save them as a template to instantly access them for future worship plans. Want to omit a stanza or two from a hymn? Simply select the stanzas you want included and Christian Worship: Service Builder instantly redraws the musical notation to include only your selected stanzas. Want to print the full text of the appointed readings? It’s not only possible, it’s fast. Every task associated with worship planning and preparation takes only a fraction of the time it once did. Christian Worship: Service Builder will be an indispensable tool in every congregation’s worship ministry.
