Sermons and Notes
Information on Sermons and Sermon Notes, and some tips for getting the most out of Sermon Notes.
After your foundational sermon information has been added, you're ready to add specific sermon information to your app. Adding sermons to your app is a great way to keep your congregation connected no matter where they are. And letting them take sermon notes right in the app? That's a win-win.
Sermon Notes
Your users can take sermon notes – right in the PocketPlatform app! Using Custom Forms, you have a simple and effective way to help your users remember the important parts of a sermon or other message. This also provides the flexibility to add a placeholder for your sermon before it occurs so that users can take notes during the actual event.
Sermon Notes Best Practices
- Don't use HTML in the Form Title. You can use basic HTML formatting (like bold, italics, and underlines) in the Alternate Field Label box when creating your fields. Any HTML that is not supported will be stripped out by PocketPlatform.
- Name your sermon notes form something that is related to the sermon. You get to do church your way, but here are some ideas for a hypothetical Sermon Series called "Church Matters". The Sermon is called "The Purpose of the Church" and the Sermon date is 21 July 2023.
