OpenLP has searchable databases of songs and Bible verses allowing them to be

projected instantly or saved in a pre-prepared order of service file. Themes
|
||||
allow for a variety of presentation options and allow you to add attractive
|
||||
visuals to enhance your presentations. PowerPoint and OpenOffice presentations,
|

videos and audio files can be run from within the program removing the need to
|
||||
switch between different programs. Alert messages can be displayed so the
|
||||
nursery or car park stewards can notify the congregation easily. Remote

|
||||
be sent from anywhere on the network, even via a smart phone or tablet.
