Service Planner

A 'Service Planner' program in VB that organises services around the circuit, manages sermons, allows creation/printing/copy & pasting Orders of Service and interfaces with Outlook (to put appointments into your diary).

See:

There is no charge for the software, although a voluntary contribution would be welcome.
