Bulletins
An AI bulletin creator for churches
The week's bulletin assembles itself out of what your church already has. AI writes the two parts that need a human voice — and drafts the order of service when you want it to.
Psalmly builds the week’s bulletin out of the church’s own week.
The service date, what is on the calendar, the prayer count, the giving summary and the announcement titles are already in Psalmly, so none of it is retyped. AI writes the two parts that need a human voice — the pastor note and the giving note — and drafts the order of service from a description or a pasted one.
An admin edits everything before it is published, printed or sent.
At a glance
| What it takes in | The week itself — service date, events, prayer count, giving summary, announcement titles. Nothing to retype. For the order of service: a description in your own words, or an order pasted in. |
|---|---|
| What it produces | Drafts inside the bulletin composer: a pastor note of up to 1,500 characters, a giving note of up to 300, and an order of service as printable lines. The rest of the bulletin is already assembled from your own data. |
| Where it runs | The admin side of Psalmly, on the web. |
| Plans | Bulletins are on every plan, including Free. The drafting is on Community and Growth. |
How it works
Three steps, and the week does most of the first one.
Step 1
The week gathers itself
Start a bulletin and it arrives already carrying the service date, the events on the calendar, the prayer count, the giving summary and your announcements. This part needs no AI and no paid plan.
Step 2
Ask for the parts that need a voice
Draft the pastor note and the giving note from what the week actually holds — a busy Sunday and a quiet one do not read the same. Ask for an order of service by describing it, or paste one you already use.
Step 3
Edit, then publish
Every draft is yours to rewrite. The bulletin is printed, emailed or published to your public church page only when you say so.
What the bulletin already knows
The reason this is worth having is mostly not the AI. It is that the week is already in Psalmly, so the bulletin does not start from an empty page.
- The service date
- Taken from your church's service times rather than typed each week.
- What is on the calendar
- The events already scheduled for the week, with their titles and when they happen.
- The prayer count
- How many requests the prayer board is carrying, so the note can be true to the week.
- The giving summary
- Where the church stands, so the giving note is grounded in something rather than generic.
- Your announcement titles
- What has been announced to the church already, so the bulletin and the announcements do not contradict each other.
- …and then the two written parts
- The pastor note (up to 1,500 characters) and the giving note (up to 300). Short on purpose: this is drafting, not authoring your church's week.
- …and the order of service, if you want it
- Describe the service or paste an order you already have, and it comes back as the printable lines Psalmly uses. Available on any bulletin, any time — there is no condition on how full the week is.
Where it stops
A drafting tool, not an author.
It does not write the bulletin
It writes two short notes and, on request, an order of service. Everything else is your church's own data, assembled for you.
It does not publish anything
Drafts wait. The bulletin is printed, emailed or put on your public page only when an admin does it.
It does not invent a week
The notes are drafted from what is actually in Psalmly for that week — not from a template that assumes a busy Sunday.
Bulletins are not the paid part
Making, publishing, printing and sending them are on every plan. Only the drafting needs Community or Growth.
Bulletins are on every plan, including Free.
Drafting the notes and the order of service is the AI part, and that comes with Community and Growth, from $49 a month. AI is the one thing in Psalmly a paid plan buys; the rest of the app is free forever.
See what each plan includes →Questions churches ask
Do I have to retype the week?
No, and that is the main thing. The bulletin is built from what is already in Psalmly — the service date, what is on the calendar, the prayer count, the giving summary and your announcement titles. AI is not what puts those there; your week is.
What does the AI actually write?
Two things, and only two: the pastor note and the giving note. They are capped at 1,500 and 300 characters, because they are short pieces of voice rather than the body of the bulletin.
Can it help with the order of service?
Yes — separately. Describe the service in your own words, or paste an order you already have, and it drafts the lines in the vocabulary Psalmly prints. It is available on any bulletin, whenever you want it.
Do I need a paid plan to make a bulletin?
No. Building, publishing, printing and sending bulletins are on every plan, including Free. The drafting is the part that needs Community or Growth.
Does anything publish on its own?
Never. A draft is a draft: you edit both notes, and the bulletin goes out only when you publish or send it.
Can the congregation read it without an app?
Yes — a bulletin can be printed, sent by email, and read on your public church page. Members see it in the app too, but nobody needs one.
