Project Brief
Broughton Publishing approached DB Gurus to develop a data-driven platform that would make worship planning easier and more efficient. They wanted a solution that could help ministry teams organise services, access lectionary content, and streamline preparation through a single digital platform.
The Solution Delivered
DB Gurus developed ePray®, an online subscription service designed specifically for worship planning. The platform includes an electronic lectionary, automated service creator, and daily Bible readings from both the NRSV and NIV translations. Role-based security levels were implemented for administrators and users, while annual lectionary updates ensure content remains current. The project later expanded with the development of ePray Daily for iOS and Android using Xamarin technology.
The Results
ePray became an easy-to-use and reliable resource for worship planning, helping users prepare services more efficiently. As demand continued to grow, DB Gurus maintained an ongoing partnership with Broughton Publishing, providing enhancements and support for both the web platform and mobile applications.
