When pastors preach they often use a thread that loops in and out of the sermon, but ties it all together.  It could be words that start with a similar letter.  Power, Prayer, Preach   Find, Forgive, Forget.  Pit, Prison, Palace.    These words are designed to help the listener remember the sermon during the week.  You can use the same or smiliar methods to remember your own presentations for Sunday morning.

I suggest using an outline method. Here are some that work.  As a ventriloquist I have to memorize a lot of scripts.
1. Visually picture an image from the script for each segment of the script. I have a routine where Gladly the Grizzly meets gold hunters. I remember the story because I remember these pictures in my head.
Two men digging in yellow snow. (Who can forget that?)
Pistol.
Bear on a dinner table.
Candle.
Statue.

Those five images are all I need to remind me of the entire story where the bear sees two men outside his cave and invites them in for dinner. I warn him that the gold miners of California probably carried guns. They would hunt bear to take his fur and eat the meat. They could even use his fat like a candle. Then I tell the kids what to do in case they ever run into a bear in the mountains. Stand like a statue. There are a lot of funny lines in it and information, but that is the outline and the pictures remind me of it.

2. Another outline method is to put a single word on your practice sheet that reminds you of the whole routine. This is more for short term memory, but works great. From above I would remember SNOW GUN DINNER CANDLE STATUE. Again, for long term memory pictures work better.

3. Think about each thing you want to do on Sunday morning as occuring in a different room in your house.  Then as you mentally walk through your house you will recall what comes next.

 4.  Keep a cheat sheet on the floor.  (Yes, I know it's easy, and may be necessary.)

5.  Put all your object lessons in the order you plan to use them.  Behind the puppet stage I lay the puppets across in the order I will pick them up.  This way I don't need to look at the cheat sheet to know what is coming up next.  Magic tricks are also put in order inside my magic table, so I know what comes next.
