Start from a base divine service setting, make your changes (for example, delete the communion elements for a non-communion service), then save it with a custom name. It appears under MyWorship Resources and at the bottom of the order-of-service list for future Sundays. How do I add a hymn that is not in Lutheran Service Book? Go to MyWorship Resources, My Hymns, and add a hymn. Paste the stanzas as text (a blank line between stanzas creates the breaks), then add the copyright and author for each stanza. How do I add music or a melody to a custom hymn? Add a melody to the hymn and upload a TIFF image of the music. Set the width, raise the threshold until all the lines show, crop to the music, then review the slicing so stanza selection works. How do I make a psalm or introit responsive? Right-click the element and choose edit. Paste the verses as plain-text paragraphs, separate each verse, then assign pastor and congregation responses line by line. What is Concordia Organist and how much does it cost? An add-on that provides recorded organ accompaniment for your service, exported as an MP3 playlist. It is $300 per year regardless of church size. Add it through sales. What is Creative Worship? A subscription of pre-built services with selected music, images, and presentation files. Buy the online subscription so it integrates with Lutheran Service Builder. It is $75 per quarter. What is One and All Rejoice? The Concordia Publishing House children's hymnal as a subscription, adding hymns, liturgies, psalms, prayers, and a bulletin format. It is $60 per year, useful for chapel services. Can I share a custom element with another church? Yes. Open the element in MyWorship Resources, use the share icon to copy its link, and email it. The recipient clicks the link with Lutheran Service Builder open and it imports into their resources. (Pricing was stated in the webinar and may change. Confirm current pricing with sales.)
