"Hi Ian.
We have been running ProPresenter for a couple of years which interfaces very nice with camera input and lyrics so you can read the lyrics but still see the worship team as well as you can add scriptures video's and images in.

Are worship leaders a dying breed?

Sorry for the controversial title. Thought it might serve a purpose though.When I first got involved in playing worship music back in the late 80s, most worship leaders I saw were young guys in…Continue
I quit

Sad news. I handed my resignation to my worship team. I found it increasingly difficult to do a good job with the way things are run in our church. For a long time I did it in the hope that my…Continue

Was in a Christian bookstore in Nashville the other day. They had on quiet easy listening instrumental versions of Christian hymns and songs. One of these was "My Jesus, I love thee".It irritated…Continue

Toni replied to Ian MacLaren's discussion 'Song Downloads and Presentation Software'"Thanks Stevo. I should have looked harder."
Stevo replied to Ian MacLaren's discussion 'Song Downloads and Presentation Software'"Ha! Toni - one of our favorite rants.
He may not have everything of his out there. On his own website, he has chords, lead sheets etc.

It's strange that he doesn't also include lyrics alone. They…"
Toni replied to Ian MacLaren's discussion 'Song Downloads and Presentation Software'"Stevo, my friend, how did I know you'd reply.
;-)
I hunted a while back for Paul Baloche lyrics for a couple of songs from Glorious, but could only find 'internet' versions. Maybe I didn't try hard enough.

Daniel Read replied to Ian MacLaren's discussion 'Song Downloads and Presentation Software'"For projection of lyrics, we've just been using powerpoint for many years. I have a folder full of song lyrics - one powerpoint file per song, and I simply copy and paste the slides to make up a set of songs. Bible readings can be…"
Stevo replied to Ian MacLaren's discussion 'Song Downloads and Presentation Software'"As an update, there is one out there called "Proclaim" that I tested last night which is new to me. It's by the people who own Logos software and I was pleasantly surprised. Within a very short time, I was able to use it for display…"
Stevo replied to Ian MacLaren's discussion 'Song Downloads and Presentation Software'"Agree about the worship music industry trying to sell stuff. It's tiresome. But to be fair, it's hard to survive big or small in that "business". Proof that we don't need to be "professional" worship leaders,…"
Toni replied to Ian MacLaren's discussion 'Song Downloads and Presentation Software'"We use Songpro to display words, mostly because that was what was already here: we've paid the fee, it kind of works. I couldn't especially recommend it as it's cantankerous, clunky, deeply unintuitive and sometimes obstructive. One…"
Stevo replied to Ian MacLaren's discussion 'Song Downloads and Presentation Software'"HI Ian,
I wrote a book previously and wish I hand't. This is a shorter version.
A lot of folks out there use display packages, but we've never been able to prove them in at my church. They never ended up providing an improvement in…"

Dear all,Some practical tips needed. We are looking to do some things to bring the church slightly more up-to-date.Firstly, the computer that runs our projector is on it's way out and we will probably replace it soon, and funds have been agreed for this by the church. What are your experiences with different packages for presenting lyrics onto screen for the worship?Secondly, keeping up to date with new songs coming out here, there and everywhere seems to get more and more difficult just by…See More
Matthew Stahlmann replied to Ian MacLaren's discussion 'I quit'"Had this problem with a church. God called me out to a wonderful team. The time I spent at the first church was a preparation for the current church."
William Doney replied to Ian MacLaren's discussion 'I quit'"hi Ian and Jeremy Illg, please make room in that boat.... i just stepped down too - last week after over 12 years leading at my home church. it wasn't a bad thing, but the frustrations over the years were considered when making the…"
Elman Authement replied to Ian MacLaren's discussion 'I quit'"Ian,
Been there, done that, still wearing the T-shirt. Don't dispair. I wait, I trust, I trip (then fall), I repent, I wait some more. Not trying to be funny. Just real. One thing I know, God hasn't changed His mind about what He…"
Stevo replied to Ian MacLaren's discussion 'I quit'"Is that right, during fellowship time? It's a small wonder it's not the biggest church in the city."
