Hi
We use Open Song which is fab and free. It has the facility to project songs and scriptures easly. You can also use it as a song book with guitar chords with the ability to transpose. When I was checking out software for our church it was more versitile than many commercial products.

Our Church uses Computer with a projector using Easy Worship, which I believe is a VERY powerful tool to use in worship, for songs, scripture and visual imagery it fair out does alot of tools I have seen, and Easy worship has been designed for the Job. I am the main trainer for the software at our church and I lead a team of church members who are on the rota for it. I don't do it every week like I used to a few years back where I learn't the software. I do alot with PA and sound engineering as part of my worship at my church.

Computer projection, not so much for hymns but for Bible readings. Most folks in our church don't bring their Bibles, so, the minister gets everyone to read the Scripture passage together. Apart from that, we use Mission Praise and Songs of God's People. Our congregation is growing, but there are a lot of old people still in it, so we have to be careful how many changes take place at once. As for music, many of them love when the (now non-existent) praise band play.

When we do worship with the kids we sing memorized songs with motions. For Sunday worship service we use hymnals which has its disadvantages... But at least we know everything is legal.

James, re worship projection programmes, we use Zionworx which is pretty userfriendly.... and is also a free to use programme.....

We use projection facilities, but also have song books available, so if anyone in the congregation feels prompted to choose a song/hymn for us to sing they can look it up, share the words and the number so us musicians can find the music and the projectionist can put it up on the screen - interestingly, and surprisingly, we have found those with poor sight can read the screen better than they can read even large print books.

well in the church i go, when i m in boarding school on weekend, we often use hymnbooks because there are many old people in that church.
but mostly we use OHP and Computer Projection

in the african church near my home, we use memory and a hymnbook, where many african songs are written in.
in southafrica and mozambique in the bush they also used memory most of the time.

in my opinion memory is still the best- before persecution comes we could remember many song on that way

somehow it does not matter what we use to worship - the only important thing is that we dont just sing songs but that the worship comes out of the heart, right?

We use song sheets or books most often. We do use Powerpoint projection sometimes, but as yet we have no permanent set-up, so have to put it all together each time. Powerpoint is a bit inflexible, as you have to work out how many times you are going to sing everything in advance, and which songs in what order. One of the worship database programs would I imagine be a lot more flexible. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Even in our home group we connect a laptop to a TV and run Powerpoint.
It's so much cheaper and easier to set up a worship session and it allows people the freedom to use their hands in worship.
