Doug Lawrence at ChurchCentral.com compares worship planning to the movie making process:
Classic Story:
There is no story as compelling as God’s Word. There is no human emotion or troubling dilemma left out of its vibrant chapters. Producers always have to start with a really good story—not a problem for us!
Great Screen Play:
Preacher/teachers are like screen writers. It’s their job—nay, sworn duty—to stay true to the story while assembling the scenes in just the right order, allowing everyone to follow the story line.
Meticulous Story Board:
Someone, often the music person, has to lay out the bits and pieces of the script in order to help everyone stay on task and get the story told.
