💡 Tip: The objective of the worship service should connect with the sermon theme, the praise and worship songs, and the final call. A well-planned worship service has a common thread from the welcome to the blessing.
💡 Pre-service meeting: A team meeting 30–45 minutes before the worship service is recommended for prayer, coordination, and program review. Assign a point of contact for the day of the service.

⚠️ Recommended balance:
Worship 30–35% ·
Word 35–40% ·
Prayer 10–15% ·
Announcements max. 5%.
A well-balanced 90-min worship service: 30 min worship · 40 min word · 15 min prayer · 5 min announcements.
💡 How to use: Add each moment in order. Assign the type, duration in minutes, and the person responsible. The Time Control (Card 3) updates automatically. You can edit the name of each moment directly.
💡 Tip: Share the title and base text with the worship leader at least 3 days in advance so the songs reinforce the sermon's message.
💡 Recommended structure:
Opening (upbeat entrance song) →
Worship (2–3 intimate songs) →
Response to the sermon (closing song connected to the message).
⚠️ Golden rule: Maximum 3–4 announcements per worship service.
Each one should be brief (max. 30 seconds),
specific (what, when, where) and
relevant for the majority of the congregation.
Long announcements break the spiritual flow of the service.
💡 Best practice: Send the post-service evaluation to the team within 24 hours after the service. A team that reflects together grows together.
