We've been using Google Docs for almost 3 years. It works well to allow the minister and music coordinator plan services online, although usually a phone call occurs while both are logged on to the order of worship in question. The music coordinator colour codes the labels for the musicians so they can each see and rehearse the music they're responsible for in the service. Then on Thursdays, the bulletin clerk can log-on and cut and paste the order of worship into the bulletin and the audio/video coordinator can view the service and prepare the slides that are needed for songs and responsive readings.
Being in the cloud allows everyone to have the up-to-date document. The only hiccups occur when someone prints a copy before it's been finalized online or when the initial document owner forgets to extend permission for one or more person to access the document.
