All in Service Planning
What’s on your church’s calendar? If it's out of the regular routine there's a good chance you'll forget until it's too late.

I left my church disappointed. I found myself wishing our church family was more engaged. More hands in the air. More passionate singing. More of an obvious, visible work of the Lord.
The songs, the teaching, special elements, and communication from last Sunday’s Service.
A tremendous amount of our news, entertainment, and social interactions come to us through video. Videos are an amazing way to learn, connect, and get inspired. It's no surprise that more and more churches are shifting their communication to a video format.
