A church service run sheet for the media booth

Most booth stress comes from not knowing what's next. A run sheet — the order of service written for the tech team — fixes that. When everyone can see what's coming, cues land on time and the whole production feels calm.

What to put on a media run sheet

• Each segment in order — welcome, songs, prayer, notices, sermon, response, close.
• Who's on stage / on mic for each — so audio knows which channels to open.
• What's on screen — lyrics, a graphic, the sermon title, or the camera.
• Special cues — a video to play, a baptism, a guest, an offering appeal.
• Transitions — how each segment hands off to the next.

A copy-paste template

Keep it visible and shared

Print a copy for each booth position and the stage, or put it on a shared screen. Update it as the plan changes during the week so Sunday's copy is the real one.

Let automation handle the busiest row

Notice the sermon line: "verses auto-display." The single most frantic booth job is finding and typing scripture references while the preacher moves fast. With TajiCast listening to the audio and pushing the detected verse to OBS or vMix automatically, that row runs itself — one less cue for the operator to chase.
