A progress indicator to show how far through the hymn the congregation is. This could be placed on the hymn number board for all to see.
Cunningly, it would take account of the numbers of verses and choruses as well as those repeated lines that sometimes get thrown in. A tempo feed from the organ
would ensure accuracy.
Perhaps too, a service progress bar for the big picture with estimated time to completion for the clock watchers.

This would be really, really good for all brands of
church. I go to many different ones, and never know
when to stop the humming, omminng, alliahiiinnng,
vechinnnng, etc., that the folks next to me are
seemingly proficient at. A glorious choir of +'s for
you. |

It should borrow the 'time left' algorithm from the Windows
File Copy Dialog and thus be comically sensitive to tiny
variances in the speed of singing. It would display: "5
minutes remaining ... 3 seconds remaining ... 6 years
remaining ..." |

".... The End Is Nigh....." |

I like the idea of bribing the organist to "jazz it up a bit" to get through the hymn a bit quicker. |

Then during the communion, organise the communicants to positively rush to the altar on the promise of a later, strategically limited supply of mince pies. |

If I were to be compelled to go to church I would definitely need a
Hymn Progress Bar. Buns away! (My supernatural belief system
being currently limited to consciousness, magic, Santa & Jutta, the
creator of this Halfbakery Universe who has just reincarnated me.
None threaten me to song, sermon or attendance.) At first the
title, Hymn Progress Bar, suggested to me a bar (sounds good) at
which there would be singing (yes!) of hymns (downbeat) where
the singing of one hymn by one hymnist would suggest another
hymn to another hymnist and progess thusly through the evening.
With drinks, I'm there. |

Welcome home condiment face. We missed ya! |

If I ever tried to follow a hymn book this would be a re-choir-ment. |

Is there a rule that prevents changing the communion wine to
something else? |

Another sip of '61 Mouton Rothschild maybe? |
