For clergy

You made the liturgical decisions years ago. This keeps them, and stops you re-making them every week.

What it is like now

• The booklet quietly diverges from what the parish actually does, because whoever makes it is guessing.
• Seasonal discipline — the Gloria, the Alleluia — depends on someone remembering.
• Copyright compliance depends on nobody having deleted the acknowledgement.
• Producing it yourself costs an evening you do not have.

What changes

• Your order of service, your texts, your choices, fixed and reused — the weekly work is only hymns, psalm and notices.
• Advent and Lent apply their own shape without disturbing anything else.
• The Common Worship acknowledgement and your parish name are structural, not remembered.
• Delegable. Which is the actual point.

How it works

1. Set up your church once. Name, colour, badge, and whether you pray in traditional or contemporary language.
2. Build your order of service once. Walk through the service, including or omitting each part, pasting your own texts where you use your own. See the full Order One shape.
3. Each week, plan the Sunday. The readings and the psalm are already set out; choose hymns from suggestions matched to them, add the notices.
4. Print. An A5 booklet imposed for your photocopier, or A4 in larger type.

There is a real sample booklet you can download without an account, and this Sunday’s readings are on the site whether or not you ever sign up.
