Every once and a while a new technology comes along a really makes life a whole lot easier. Something I discovered several years ago was Planning Center Online. If you haven’t used this online service yet you really need to check it out. All in one program you can lay out your services, have a library for all of your charts and MP-3s as well as a data base of all your teams. One of the things that I love is the ability to schedule teams all online and send out music, orders, stage layout etc in one email.
For me this has really helped me accomplish one of my goals… And that is this… Try to get people more information earlier so they can be prepared for the weekend. You see whether it’s an usher, tech person. worship leader, host…you name it. One of our roles as worship leaders is to help our teams understand that we all have the opportunity each week to direct people to God. So more information helps people be better prepared and have a better understanding of how each person can help build the moments in our services… Those moments where God moves.
So if you haven’t checked it out go to:
