New RiteWorship License for all RI Episcopal Churches

With less than one month left in the year, you may be looking at renewing your church's copyright licenses for music. Before you do, take note. The Diocese of Rhode Island has already purchased Church Publishing's Riteworship subscription for all of our churches, effective 1/1/14.

If you have subscribed to Riteworship in the past, you don't need to renew your current subscription. If you aren't familiar with the program, check it out here to see what it includes before you renew your other licenses. The music you use may already be covered by Riteworship.

In addition to permission to use the music included in the program, Riteworship has a nifty church bulletin builder that may make your Parish Administrator's job a whole lot easier. There is a

free 30 day trial if you would like to acquaint yourself with Riteworship's tools before your subscription starts on 1/1/14

So how will this work? When Church Publishing sets up your riteworship account, your church will receive an e-mail notification with your account login details and instructions. When you first log on, you can change your password to one of your choosing. That will be the password, along with the email address on the account, that your church will use to access the program each time.

To get started you may want to view the 13-minute riteworship introductory video on YouTube. It’s a helpful and easy-to-follow video led by the person most responsible for the program’s development. Or if you prefer, you can download the User’s Guide here.

Finally, Riteworship has a wonderful tech support staff ready to answer any questions not covered by the video and User Guide. You can reach Anita by dropping an e-mail to CPIeProducts@cpg.org or by calling 800-242-1918 and hitting prompt 2 then prompt 1.
