Way to streamline weekly bulletin?

I did the bulletins of several churches in the past years. I worked with object styles containing paragraph styles including next styles. I used independent sections for sermons, events and follow up questions. 

When you are new to InDesign, it can feel overwhelming. I added a background color to the 6 areas I identified that would most likely change each week.

To cut down the time it takes to lay this out it each week, I would:

1.) Add placeholder frames on the A-Parent page to hold the changeable content (frames 2–5).

2.) Create paragraph styles to format the body text, the heads, the titles with the gray background, the date and the weekly quote.

3.) Edit the date manually on the first page.

4.) Type the remaining 5 sections as 5 separate Word docs and assign paragraph styles as you go. (InDesign can import Word files directly, but not Google docs. If you can't use Word, you will need to save each file as a Word doc.)

5.) Use File > Place to import each individual file into the appropriate placeholder frame on the body pages, and use style mapping on import to map the Word styles to the equivalent InDesign style. 

As a new user, this is going take some time to set up and figure out. However, once it's done, you could lay out this document in about 15 minutes or so.
