e-pray features and benefits

e-pray contains all the elements needed for effective service planning:

• the full (corrected!) text of APBA, as user-friendly ‘templates’ that release the full flexibility of the book, including the automatic selection of sentences, readings and prayers of the day (and BCP canticles).
• the full text of the New Revised Standard, New International and Authorised (King James) versions of the Bible, together with WORDsearch 5 (developed by The Navigators). This helps users prepare sermons and Bible studies – and it contains a vast range of maps.
• the full indexes (number, first lines, scripture index, themes) from the six hymn / song books most commonly used by Australian Anglicans.

Output from e-pray is as wide as your imagination: full service text, pewsheets, anything printed, Powerpoint presentation, and cue sheets.

Introducing the 2005 new Click & Print™ feature

The new Click & Print™ feature from LabOra Worship. This terrific new feature makes it easy to turn your Service Outline into printable documents. To find out how you can make best use of this very valuable tool, please refer to the help menu (F1). Note: To use Click & Print™ you must have Microsoft® Word® 2000 or higher installed to your computer. If you do not have Microsoft® Word® 2000 or higher, you will need to continue to use the Pewsheet button on the LabOra Toolbar to create your print outputs.

With e-pray you can construct your own song book, and form new services using ‘Service Creator’. Templates for new services – a healing service, harvest festival, Taize celebration for example - are readily developed, and can be shared with other users.

e-pray offers a fully-functional word processor and database (with pre-loaded templates for your vestry, electoral roll, youth group, musicians etc). It keeps track of hymn / song usage, sermon themes, rosters, attendance, giving, staff and membership lists - automatically!

e-pray is web-friendly: it gives access via the internet to daily prayer points from Anglican sources, liturgy and song resources, mission agencies and church contacts, and is configured for easy updating.
