Custom sermon notes journals for your church
A custom sermon notes journal for your church gives every member the same guided page each Sunday, with your series art on the cover. Choose a 48-page journal for a series or a 100-page journal for the year, from 10 copies.
The sermon notes page
Our sermon notes layout walks the listener from the message to a response.
| Field | Why it's there |
|---|---|
| Date and speaker | So the journal reads as a record of the year |
| Message and scripture | The title and the passages to look up later |
| Notes | Most of the page, lined for writing |
| Key takeaway | One sentence to remember |
| Prayer and next step | What to pray, and one thing to do this week |
A popular retail sermon journal asks for the speaker, date, scripture and notes. Ours adds the key takeaway and the prayer and next-step box, so notes turn into a response.
Series journal or annual journal?
| Series journal | Annual journal | |
|---|---|---|
| Notebook | Stapled notebook, 48 pages | Coil journal, 100 pages |
| Covers | A 4 to 12 week series, two pages per message, room to spare | Close to two pages per Sunday for a year |
| Cover | Series art, front and back in full color | Your church logo or the year's theme on the front |
| Hand out | At the series launch | In January or at the ministry-year kickoff |
How a series journal flows
A 48-page series journal for an 8-week series might run like this:
- A welcome page from the pastor and the series overview.
- The series reading plan, one week per row.
- Two sermon notes pages for each of the 8 weeks.
- Small-group questions after each week's sermon pages.
- Prayer list and lined pages at the back.
Number the pages, so the pastor can point people to the right page each week. Order one per adult who attends, plus extras for guests and new members.

Make it your church's journal
- Cover: the series artwork your team already made for slides and social posts, or your logo on our cover template.
- Footer: your church name or website at the bottom of every page, at no charge.
- Your own pages: add a welcome page, the series reading plan, small-group questions or a prayer list. Upload the whole interior as one PDF, and it costs the same.
We check the cover and every page before your proof. Inside pages are black and white on 70 lb uncoated text. Covers are uncoated 80 lb stock, not laminated, so names can be written on them.
When churches order
Plan the journal with the series, not the week before it starts.
- January series launches: order in early December.
- Lent: in 2027, Ash Wednesday is February 10, so order in January.
- Fall kickoff: order in July or early August.
- Easter and Advent series: order 4 to 6 weeks before the first message.
You get a digital proof the same business day we receive a complete file, and production takes 1 to 3 business days after approval and payment. Then we ship by USPS Ground Advantage to your church office.
Pair the journal with a planner: see church planners. For a full-color study guide with questions for each week, see small group study guides.
