Call to Worship
Written Guide
The call to worship is typically done right at the beginning of service, as the first pastor comes to the podium.
Scripture will look like this for the congregation
And like this for the live stream
Here's how to add it.
Planning Center
In Planning Center, scripture reading is typically done by a speaker from the audience, or it's something put in by a worship leader.
In this case, it's added between a few songs, and was labeled "Responsive Reading"
Click on the item to get more detail if needed.
All we really need is the scripture they're referencing, which can be in the title AND the description.
OR the info may only be in the title.
Either way, copy the scripture as needed.
ProPresenter
In Planning Center, navigate to the Sermons Library.
In the bottom left of the playlist view, look for the search box
Search for Template
Duplicate the Call to Worship Template
Right Click the copied template, and select Rename
Rename it to be relevant to the current event, typically the Date of the Service
Add the event name or date to the end of the scripture. This will make searching for it far easier.
From the Toolbar at the top, select Bible
This will bring you to the Bible Page
Paste in the scripture to the search bar at the top
Make sure the Call to Worship is selected from the Playlist View With the Call to Worship selected, at the bottom left, click
Save As -> Copy to Selected
From the Toolbar, you can select Show with the Play icon to get back to the show view
Move the blank slide to the end of the scripture
That's it! 🎉
You can now go back to the correct Playlist, and look up the name of the event
Drag and drop the scripture into the correct place in the playlist.
