Helping you be more productive in your parish office
Service Bulletin Builder is a software tool that allows you to easily generate service bulletins using a Word document template.
The program is designed for use by one or more staff members in a parish who have responsibility for creating the service bulletin each week.
You select what information will appear in the bulletin from several different categories, then build the bulletin automatically.
The program may be downloaded from the link found in the Download Program page.
An online User's Manual is available once you have installed the program
The program inserts the correct lectionary readings for any Sunday or Holy Day in the church year. The Revised Common Lectionary is used for Holy Eucharist services and the Daily Office lectionary for morning or evening prayer services.
Learn MoreThe program imports a list of participants from an Excel spreadsheet. The list can also be created using an Excel template that contains the roles of the participants with place holders for the participant names. An email function allows participants to be notified about their role in the service.
Learn MoreThe program streamlines the music selection process. It allows the Music Director to plan the hymns and other music selections for the service and communicate these choices to another staff member for inclusion in the service bulletin.
Learn MoreThe Service Planner allows the user to select the date, time and type of service. The program makes provision for 2 morning services and 1 afternoon service of various types. If there is more than one service, a separate set of information is created for each service and the user can easily switch between services.
Learn MoreA Word document template is required in order to build the bulletin. An existing bulletin can be used as the starting point for the template and modified so it contains placeholders for all the information that changes on a weekly basis. The program opens the Word template in the background, creates the bulletin and saves it with a unique file name.
