OpenLP is an easy-to-use church presentation software that can display slides of songs, Bible verses, images, videos and even powerpoint presentations for church worship.
Your church was just given a data projector and you want to use it to display the lyrics of songs. Then someone suggested that you look at commercial church presentation software, but when you looked at the price tag, you knew your church could not afford that kind of money.
You begin to wonder if you should just go back to hymn books and just leave projection of song words to bigger churches who can afford to do it. Allow us to present the solution to the problem: openlp.org.
