The Preach Queue

Line up the whole service before it starts — scriptures, songs, and thoughts, in order. During the sermon, one click puts each item on the big screen.

AMAZING GRACE
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,
that saved a wretch like me…
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come…

Songs & thoughts, projected

Type lyrics or a note, leave a blank line between stanzas, and each stanza becomes its own beautiful slide — on the projector and on every phone following live.

Ask anything, mid-sermon

The preacher mentions the crusaders, Azusa Street, the walls of Jericho… type it in the Go box and the study assistant answers with a projectable card plus the Scriptures that go with it.

Your phone is the clicker

Scan a secret QR and walk anywhere in the room — next, previous, even chasing a called reference, straight from your pocket.

The stage display

A confidence monitor for the pulpit: the current verse small, the next verse big, and a clock — the preacher always knows what’s coming.

For God so loved the world

Dress the projection

Vellum, deep ink, or clean paper — pick the projector’s look and text size from the console. It remembers your choice for next Sunday.

JOHN 3:16For God so loved the world…
MILKY WAY GALAXYOur home galaxy, some 100,000 light-years across…

One press back

The preacher detours to an aid, then says “back to our text” — press Back (or B) and you’re on the exact verse you left, instantly. It’s on the phone remote too.

HARVEST SUNDAY · 10AM

Pictures on the screen

Drop announcement slides and sermon graphics straight into the queue — one click projects them full-screen, and the congregation’s phones see them too.

Following live 232425 following

Go Live — now with a takeaway

The congregation follows on their phones, verse by verse. And when the service ends, every phone receives tonight’s scriptures — the full list, ready to keep reading at home.

Blank the screen in a tap

Before the service and between segments, snap the projector to a calm holding screen — one press of Blank (or the . key). Cue the next verse underneath; tap again and it’s right there.

Amazing Gracehymnal
Holy, Holy, Holyhymnal
Our Anthemyours

Songs you don’t retype

Pick a hymn from the built-in public-domain hymnal, or reuse any song you’ve queued before — one tap fills the lyrics in. Build the music half of the service in seconds.

Reconnecting…

It survives a hiccup

If a phone drops Wi-Fi mid-service, it snaps right back to the live verse the moment it reconnects — no stale screen. And if the projection window gets closed or refreshed, reopening it restores exactly what was up: passage, theme, even a blanked screen.

JOHN 3:161718 · KJV
161718
For God so loved the world… that he gave his only begotten Son… that whosoever believeth in him…

§ The passage, named on screen

The congregation no longer sees a lonely “16” — the full reference rides across the top of every projected verse, like John 3:16 · KJV, and follows along as you move, so anyone glancing up knows exactly where you are.

…the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering…

peace

Make the key word glow

When the minister leans on a word — peace, grace, abide — tap it on the verse and it lights up on the projector and on every following phone. Tap again to let it go.

⚓  JOHN 3:12
→ Rom 5 → Gen 1 press H

One key back to your text

Anchor your main teaching passage, wander off to as many cross-references as the sermon takes — then press H (or ) and you’re back on the exact verse you paused at. No more hunting.

Queue John 3:16, Rom 8:28, Ps 23
§ John 3:16
§ Romans 8:28
§ Psalm 23

Queue a stack in one go

For a fast-moving minister, type several references separated by commas (John 3:16, Rom 8:28, Ps 23) and they drop into the queue as separate items in a single tap — no more adding them one at a time.

ROMANS 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good…
JEREMIAH 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you…

Split the screen, two passages at once

Put up to four different scriptures side-by-side on the projector — a promise beside its fulfilment, the Law beside the Gospel. Click a side (or press 14) to make it active, then Next or Go moves just that passage while the others hold steady.

Send the join code to the whole room

When you go live, one tap — Show on screen — throws the QR and the join code up on the projector itself. The whole assembly can scan it from their seats and follow along on their phones; no one has to crowd the laptop. Tap again to take it back down.

The Ark of the Covenant
✦ Illustrate this passage

The Rabbi paints the passage

Highlight a passage, ask the Rabbi, and tap Illustrate this passage — and a real picture of the scene appears, rendered like an illuminated manuscript: warm vellum, sepia ink, gold leaf. The ark, the burning bush, Jericho’s walls, David in the valley — reverent, and safe to project. The Rabbi now weighs the whole highlighted span too, not just its first verse. (A few illustrations a day, to keep costs gentle.)
