Pastoral Care organizes rites, coverage, and preaching

July 25, 2026 Back to changelog Pastoral Care now gives authorized staff focused sidebar workspaces for funeral and wedding details, caregiver absences, and preaching plans. Each workspace opens directly from the Pastoral Care submenu under Church Management, so staff do not need to switch between unrelated tools on one page.

​

Rite Runsheets

Staff can start a funeral or wedding runsheet from an existing confidential care case. A practical checklist covers family communication, participants, service details, venue, documents, music, and logistics. Private family and coordination details remain encrypted.

​

Bounded Caregiver Coverage

Coverage Mode snapshots a caregiver’s active cases for a defined absence. Covering staff can record minimum next actions and review activity during the window. When coverage ends, open work is handed back for re-entry review.

​

Dependable Preaching History

The preaching calendar records the actual scheduled date, speaker, audience, service, series, Scripture, and important liturgical or civil moments. Plans marked delivered build a reviewed Scripture ledger from launch forward rather than treating old upload dates as preached dates. Successor dossiers, personal-story storage, historical sermon import, and specialized or anonymous care workflows remain deferred until their own governance and safeguarding rules are ready.
