Service Plans
Service plans (also called service flows or runsheets) are structured schedules for worship services or meetings. They list every song, announcement, prayer, and other element in order — with timing, assigned roles, and the team for that day.

Frequently Asked Questions
I was assigned to a plan but I can't find it — where is it? Check your Dashboard → My Events widget. If it's not there, contact your music coordinator — your assignment may be pending confirmation.
Can I see the plan on my phone? Yes. The plan viewer is fully mobile-responsive. Tap any item to expand its details.
Can the plan be printed for reference during the service? Use your browser's Print function (Ctrl+P / Cmd+P) on the plan page.
What's the difference between a Service Plan and an Event? An Event is a calendar entry (date, time, location, RSVPs). A Service Plan is the detailed runsheet for what happens during that event. A plan can be linked to an event, but they are separate things.
