quicko: the big bulletin-blind bind

I don't know if it's just my church or if it's protocol here, but there's no bulletins. (Lutherans, don't faint.) You come and have no idea what is going to happen next, or when you're likely to be able to sit or blow your nose, or if the sermon (aka "the talk") is the halftime show or the grand finale. There is a often an "order of service" slide at the beginning of the PowerPoint presentation to give you a semblance of a clue, but it flashes up for a brief moment and then is gone. Holding on to and referring back to the order (particularly during the sermon) is impossible, much less checking off the elements as they pass.
