Turn Sunday’s sermon into a complete content week
This sermon content week kit is the worksheet hub for the rest of the cluster. A practical planning kit for the person who has to turn one message into clips, captions, posts, and a calm Monday morning.
This opens the kit immediately. Marketing email is optional, and this does not create an account.
What is in the kit
Use it as a printable or a shared doc. Fill what you can after Sunday. Leave blanks rather than guessing. The kit is the hub. The linked guides are the deep how-to pages.
Worksheet A: Handoff
Pastor or admin
- Sermon title:
- Date:
- File name / location:
- Main point for the week (one sentence):
- Must-keep verse or line:
- Do-not-clip notes:
- Reviewer this week:
- Drafts due:
- Finals due:
- Where we schedule posts:
Worksheet B: Clip-hook list
Media volunteer
For each candidate moment:
- Clip #:
- Timestamp:
- Stands alone? (yes/no):
- One-line hook:
- Why it is safe to post:
- Kill reason (if no):
Aim for three to five candidates. Ship the ones that pass review.
Worksheet C: Caption and carousel prompts
Caption prompt
- Lead with the hook.
- Add one sentence of context if needed.
- End with a soft invite (service time or “share with someone who needs this”).
- Keep theology matched to what was preached.
Carousel prompt (if using stills)
- Slide 1 hook
- Slides 2-4 teaching points (one each)
- Verse slide
- Next-step slide
- Optional close / invite slide
If the sermon should not become swipeable slogans, skip the carousel. Post a single quote card instead.
Worksheet D: Monday-Friday publish plan
| Day | Format | Status ideas |
|---|---|---|
| Mon | Plan / picks | drafted / reviewed / scheduled / posted / killed |
| Tue | Clip 1 | drafted / reviewed / scheduled / posted / killed |
| Wed | Carousel or quote | drafted / reviewed / scheduled / posted / killed |
| Thu | Clip 2 | drafted / reviewed / scheduled / posted / killed |
| Fri | Invite / reminder | drafted / reviewed / scheduled / posted / killed |
Filled example (fictional)
This example is made up for teaching the worksheet. It is not a case study and it includes no traction numbers.
Fictional church: North Bridge Community Church. Sermon title: Hope That Waits. Date: Sunday, September 14, 2026. Main point: Christian hope is patient trust, not denial of hard days. Must-keep line: “Hope does not pretend the night is morning. It trusts God in the night.” Do-not-clip: Hospital story about a congregant by name.
| Day | Format | Hook or title line | Owner | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mon | Plan / picks | Three candidates flagged from transcript | Jordan (volunteer) | done |
| Tue | Clip 1 | “Hope does not pretend the night is morning.” | Jordan | reviewed |
| Wed | Quote card | Same line as Tue, still format | Sam (design help) | scheduled |
| Thu | Clip 2 | Short application: one honest prayer this week | Jordan | drafted |
| Fri | Invite | “Join us Sunday as we keep learning to wait with hope.” | Alex (admin) | queued |
Review note: Clip 2 waits for Wednesday meaning check before export. Human review stays the gate.
How to use the kit each week
- Pastor completes Worksheet A before leaving campus (or by Sunday evening).
- Volunteer fills Worksheet B on Monday.
- Draft captions with Worksheet C on Tuesday.
- Run review before any export.
- Update Worksheet D as posts move from draft to scheduled.
If time is short, protect Tuesday’s best clip, Wednesday’s still post, and Friday’s invite. Drop the extras.
VelaClip helps you prepare sermon clips on a local-first path. Media stays on disk unless you choose a connected option. Your team still reviews, exports, and posts with the tools you already use.
