These files have been posted since this past Monday, but we thought we should take this space and opportunity to give you some additional information regarding Creative Worship.

Lutheran Service Builder 2.0 was designed to be more extensible to provide our users with additional options. One of these options has been long-requested: the integration of Creative Worship with Lutheran Service Builder to provide those services to our users and allow them to use Builder to utilize elements from both Creative Worship and Lutheran Service Book in the same environment.

That’s now available, and as a promotion, we’ve made the Builder files (and only the Builder files) for Part One of Creative Worship for 2009 available for download absolutely free. These files are intended to serve as “test files” for those customers who might not have Creative Worship and would like to see how the integration with Builder operates. If you take a look at these services and are interested in subscribing to Creative Worship, please click here and fill out the appropriate form.

In order to use the files, follow the instructions given on the download page. Each service is available as a separate file, so you can choose which services to use in a given quarter.

In future releases, the Builder files will be included on the CD-ROM that is distributed with the Creative Worship manual. This provides a convenient and timely way for you to import the services from that quarter into Lutheran Service Builder and begin working with them ASAP.

The most important thing we would like to impress upon our users is that the files for Part One are our first foray into making this resource available in Lutheran Service Builder. It is doubtless that we will find better ways to organize and/or present this information to you and assist you even more greatly in your worship planning process. If you have any suggestions on how to improve the files for Creative Worship, we would very much appereciate it if you would let us know. You can either submit a support request, or join in the discussion already in progress on our forums.

We are proud to finally be providing such a long-time request to our users. We hope you will find using this feature an awesome addition to Lutheran Service Builder.
