from the altar guild to coffee hour
Sign-up sheets for Episcopal parishes
Altar guild rotations, the flower guild calendar, lay readers and acolytes for every service, and a coffee hour that somehow always needs one more host. One link covers it all.

Sign-ups your parish actually runs
Altar guild & flower guild rotations
A slot for each Sunday, with the week's notes right in the description. Guild members claim their weeks, everyone sees the gaps, and nobody has to phone around after the Easter lilies go in.
Lay readers, Eucharistic ministers & acolytes
A section per service, a slot per role, a capacity on each. Put it on repeat and the next week's schedule appears on its own — weekly repeats are included on Basic.
More on greeter & usher scheduling →Coffee hour hosts
One slot per Sunday, a note field for what's coming out of the parish hall kitchen, and a reminder email before each host's week on paid plans. The urn gets filled.
More on potlucks & fellowship meals →Shrove Tuesday pancake supper
Batter crew, griddle shifts, setup, and cleanup as sections with real capacities. Full slots close themselves, so you don't end up with six flippers and no one on dishes.
Meals for parishioners
New baby, surgery, a loss in the family. A slot per night, allergies and drop-off details on the sheet, and a reminder before each meal on paid plans.
More on meal trains →Christmas Eve & Holy Week services
Each service gets its own section of ushers, greeters, and readers, so a volunteer can serve at one and worship at another.

Questions Episcopal parishes ask
Can one sheet schedule lay readers, Eucharistic ministers, and acolytes together?
Yes. Make each service a section and put each role underneath as a slot with its own capacity. Volunteers pick their service and role, and a full slot closes automatically.
Can the altar guild rotation repeat on its own?
Yes. Recurring forms auto-create the next occurrence, so a weekly schedule runs itself. Weekly repeats are included on Basic; daily, monthly, and quarterly repeats are a Pro feature.
Do parishioners need an account to sign up?
No. Anyone can sign up in seconds from the shared link — no account, no app, no password reset on a Sunday morning. They get a confirmation email with a cancel link right away.
Is SignUpChurch free for our parish?
Yes. The Free plan includes 3 active sign-up sheets with unlimited sign-ups, email confirmations, and a public sign-up page with no ads — no credit card required. Basic is $12/mo and Pro is $24/mo, month to month.
Does it sync with our church management software?
ChMS sync is part of the Pro plan ($24/mo). Planning Center, Church Community Builder & MinistryPlatform are live today. Everyone who signs up is matched by email or created automatically, and existing records are never overwritten.
