I requested the upgrade from Church.co 1.0 to 2.0. We are using the ChurchOnline block to host our Sunday live streams directly on the website. However, the new 2.0 is missing some key features that are in 1.0
- I do not have the ability to schedule when the live stream goes live
- I do not have the ability to select an image or video to play when the live stream is not live.
These two features will prevent me from making my 2.0 version of the church website public.
Additionally, it would be nice to have the ability to show a countdown to when the next live stream will occur.

@jimneva92@gmail.com this has just gone live. The Church Offline scheduling is now available on 2.0.

What you are asking is typically something you configure through the livestream service you're using.
The Livestream block (like most others) has a scheduling feature under the Block's "Settings." You can use that to decide when you want the Livestream block to go, well, live. You can then add a companion block that is scheduled to run during the times that your livestream is offline (e.g., Mon - Sat) that tells the visitor to check back at XX:XXX AM on Sunday for Livestream.
The only downside, is that you need to reedit the schedule each Sunday afternoon as there is currently no support for repeating schedules. :-(
