Questions about Worship planning

Do I need Serving to use Worship planning?

Yes. Worship planning plans on Serving's calendar and its teams, so both have to be on. See Turn parts on and Pricing.

Where do the services in Worship come from?

From the Serving calendar. Services in Worship lists the services there for the next eight weeks. Events don't show. See Schedule volunteers.

What's a lane?

A lane is one team's part of the service, like Words and slides, Band or Sound. A lane owned by a Serving area makes that area's directors its owners. See Plan a service.

Who can change the Score?

The office and the service's producer change everything. A director changes their own lanes, the preacher the message, and the worship leader the songs. A service that has passed is kept as it was. See Plan a service.

When do members see the order?

On their Sunday page, once the service has its order, unless the office or producer shows it early or holds it, under More on the service's Plan tab. See Plan a service.

Can members see the song words?

Only if an admin turns on Show song words to members in Worship's Settings. It's off until then. Your church needs the rights to show the words. See Song library.

Does Trellis connect to SongSelect?

No. You download the ChordPro or lyrics files from SongSelect yourself, then bring them in with Bring in from SongSelect. Trellis never downloads from SongSelect for you. See Song library.

Can a song be in a different key each week?

Yes. Each song moment on a Score has its own key, and charts show in any key. Set each singer's key on the song, and picking them as leader puts the song in their key. See Song library.

How do I report songs to CCLI?

At the foot of Songs, the CCLI report counts each song sung in services that ran live. Pick the dates and press Download CSV. See Song library.

We have two services on Sunday morning. Do I plan both?

Plan the first, then on the second's empty Score press Follow to run on the same order. Who serves and who stands where stay each service's own. See Service templates.

Can I reuse last week's order?

Yes. On an empty Score, choose Start from an earlier service and Copy its order, or save a template to start from each week. See Service templates.

Who sees the pastor's notes?

Only the preacher, until they press Share with the team. Then everyone on the Score reads the last version shared. See Worship notes, requests and files.

What files can I attach?

PDF, Word, PowerPoint, PNG, JPEG, WebP and plain text, up to 25 MB each. Audio, click tracks and music-software projects can't be attached yet. See Worship notes, requests and files.

Who can go live on Sunday?

The office and the service's producer, on the day of the service. They can hand the button to someone serving. A run-through can happen any day before. See Sunday morning.

Does Silas plan the service for us?

No. With Silas on, he can draft parts, suggest songs and give notes on the flow. A drafted part stays marked as Silas's draft until someone keeps it. See What Silas does.
