Group Stylesheets

Proclaim has the ability to set some styles, but it would be so much more efficient and easier to use (quicker to find and customize) if there was a palette or dropdown menu explicitly for customized stylesheets for the presentation group.
As the media designer, I would like to be able to set up specific styles for each week, seasons, events, etc. This would enable us to quicky apply the preset group style to a particular song or the entire presentation with one click.
For example: 1st Sunday of the month, we use a style listed in the style sheet that is set to 120pt Rounded Elegance with 1.1 line spacing, 4 letter spacing, white in color, no effects, right aligned.
Week 2 Style - 122 pt Monserrat, 1.3 line spacing, 0 letter spacing, grey in color, white drop shadow, center aligned.
Christmas Style, specific point size, font, line spacing, letter spacing, color, effects, alignment.
And so on....However a church needs to set up their styles to match their needs and branding styles.
As a professional designer, I think of the stylesheets - paragraph styles and character styles that Adobe InDesign uses. Something similar but a little more consolidated would be awesome for Proclaim.
The current styles method seems very clunky and inefficient to me. There are presets there that we would never use but there is no way to effectively and permanently edit/customize that list or to name the list/style so that it is clear to other presentation group members that styles on the list are customized specifically for our church.
I am currently using laptop that does not have an illustration app to type this comment. If I am able to come back and edit or append this comment, I will add a sample mock up to better illustrate what I envision.
