One of those obvious things to speed up a task that I wish had been more obvious to me years ago:

Since I reuse so many of my liturgical resources (prayer of confessions, confession of faith etc…) I have set up a way to help design our worship bulletins quicker.  I’ve already set up hymns and scripture readings in tables that can be switched out every Sunday, but I’ve also made a folder of liturgical resources.  Each file is a word document with a single resource labelled for easy reference: ‘Conf. Sheep’ for the prayer that contains the phrase ‘we have erred and strayed from your ways like lost sheep’ or ‘Confession Advent 1’ for the first Sunday of Advent.

When I work on a bulletin I simply go to Insert>File and choose the document.  Works quicker for me than opening a new file, locating the resource I want and cutting and pasting for each part of the bulletin.
