  • Empower your ministry team with clarity— everyone knows their role and timing.
  • Save time and mental bandwidth so you can focus on worship and the message rather than logistics.
  • Maintain a reverent atmosphere appropriate for Good Friday, supporting both worship leaders and attendees.

  3. Distribute specific sections to key team members (worship leader, AV tech, volunteers coordinator).
  4. Use the checkboxes during rehearsals and service setup to stay on schedule.
