WorshipDeck 0.1.0: The First Release

Prepare From the Order of Service

Paste the order of service in the form your team already uses. WorshipDeck finds the hymns and Bible passages in it and fills the service form. Hymns come from the bundled Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal and expand into title and verse slides with their refrains. Passages come from the bundled King James Version.

Slide layouts are edited on a canvas: drag, resize, style text, undo and redo. Announcements and background images live in their own library, so they can be reused across services.

Present on Two Screens

The operator console shows the run sheet, a filmstrip, and a grid of slides. The congregation screen opens as a second window with only the slides, and B blanks it. A phone on the church Wi-Fi can act as a remote. Any Bible passage can be pushed to the congregation screen during the service, even when it is not in the order of service.

Every service can also be exported as a PowerPoint file in 16:9 with its fonts embedded, so it opens the same way on a computer without WorshipDeck or an internet connection.

Where It Runs

WorshipDeck runs as one server on your church network, and the console, the congregation screen, and the phone remote open in a browser. Services, songs, and accounts stay in a database on that server. There is no cloud account, no analytics, and hymn search and slide changes keep working when the internet is down.

Limits in This Release

• The bundled hymnal and Bible are in English only.
• The phone remote needs WorshipDeck running on a server that phones on the church network can reach.
• Syncing between two installations and the Windows desktop installer are experimental.
