Sermon Manager without adding to Sermon Documents

Jeff

Hi

I am planning on using the sermon manager to plan out the sermon series for our church over the next year. I preach the majority of the Sundays, but not every Sunday. Is there a way to add the sermon into the sermon manager without creating a sermon document - for the sermons I'm not preaching? 

This way, I can still see the preaching schedule and roster but I don't need to overcrowd my sermon documents list with empty preaching templates.

Not as this point. We chose a simple approach to the design where a sermon record = a sermon document. There are cases where this isn't ideal, but it allowed us to cut out a bunch of extra complexity.

You might consider using the document to take notes on others' sermons. I've use sermon documents for that and found it to be a pretty nice experience that's to the structured preset styles, Scripture blocks, fill in the blanks, and sermon-specific metadata.

I created a blank "sermon" and called it vacation, day off, something like that, which I can insert whenever I am taking a day off.

I'm on a preaching team and create a new sermon for other preaching team members so I know they are preaching.  Love the new sermon manager.

Great idea!
