Planning Center: Is it wrong to love software?

Planning Center, I love you.

I went through my blistory (read: "blog" "history") earlier today, and I cannot believe I have NEVER blogged about PlanningCenterOnline.com (PCO). For that I truly am sorry.

PCO is a web-based organizational, scheduling, communication software that is written from the ground up for planning church services. We could not function on a weekly basis without this software. Straight up, next to Gmail and Typepad, I cannot think of another website I spend more time in (or find more useful)... (Sorry Facebook, you're #4).

Not only are all five multisite locations using it for our Adult Worship service, but our Age Graded venues are moving to it as well. By June I believe we'll have ten worship venues tied into Planning Center.

PCO just released some updates to their web-based software, and one of them made me very, very happy. Planning Center, meet iPhone.

So wait, I can access any plan, any schedule, any song, any person, any position, anything... easily from the palm of my hand anytime I want. Wow, sounds exactly like something a organizational control freak like me would want.

Thank you, Planning Center, for keeping my sanity.
