Pick the hymns. Print. SundayHQ already knows which Sunday it is: the readings, the psalm, the collect, the colour. It sets your whole order of service in your parish's own style, folded and ready for the pews.
Which season, and traditional or contemporary language. That's the whole set-up. Your complete order of service builds itself, and you can adjust any single part if your church does it differently.
You do this once.
SundayHQ sets the day's readings and the psalm for you, and suggests hymns that fit them, with the reason for each. Choose yours, add a notice or two. Every text is yours to edit or replace.
One click gives you an A5 booklet imposed for your photocopier: duplex, fold, done. Or an A4 sheet in larger type. Your name, your colours, correct copyright lines on the back.
The church's calendarEaster, moveable feasts, the Sundays after Trinity, Kingdom season: any date, decades ahead. When Advent or Lent arrives, it offers the seasonal order (Gloria rested, Tract in place of the Alleluia) with one click.
The lectionaryPrincipal service readings with both Old Testament tracks — set out in full, not just cited, with the psalm pointed either as said verses or responsorial with its refrain. Paste your own translation over any of it.
Hymns that fitSuggestions matched to the readings, each with a one-line reason your music group can argue with.
Your parish's voiceYour own texts, colours and cover: a seasonal frame, a quiet simple cover, or a full-page design of your own. Stored once, printed every week.
The photocopierSaddle-stitch imposition on A4 landscape: print duplex, fold down the middle, staple.
The copyright rulesCommon Worship material you paste carries the required acknowledgment automatically.
Every parish starts with a 14-day free trial: two complete booklets to try in real services. No card to sign up — you add one only when you want a booklet without the watermark. Nothing is charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel any time before then.
Yes, and the design takes it seriously. Your church already holds the right to reproduce Common Worship texts in its own local service booklets. SundayHQ is the typesetting tool: you paste the texts your church is authorised to use, we set them beautifully, and the required acknowledgment (© The Archbishops' Council 2000) is added to every booklet automatically. Traditional-language texts are included ready to use.
The Common Worship principal service lectionary (Revised Common Lectionary), with the Church of England's calendar, including the Sundays before Lent, Kingdom season, and feasts that fall on Sundays.
Suggestions currently reference Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New, with more hymnals to follow. You can always type any hymn in by hand.
Any office printer or photocopier that prints A4 double-sided. The booklet arrives already imposed: print, flip on the short edge, fold, staple if you like.
Set-up is two questions: which season, and traditional or contemporary. Traditional texts are all built in; contemporary parishes paste their own texts once, with a checklist showing exactly which. After that, a churchwarden who can use email can produce Sunday's booklet.
