What is OpenLP?
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
OpenLP stands for "Open source Lyric Projection" and is presentation software
|
||||
developed for Churches to provide a single easy to use interface for the
|
||||
projection needs of a typical act of Worship. First created in 2004, it has
|
||||
steadily grown in features and maturity such that is it now a mainstay in
|
||||
hundreds of churches around the world.
|
||||
|
||||
It can hold a searchable database of song lyrics and Bible verses allowing them
|
||||
to be projected instantly or saved in a pre-prepared order of service file.
|
||||
Themes allow song backgrounds to be changed instantly. PowerPoint 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
|
||||
capability allows the worship leader to change songs, or for alert messages to
|
||||
be sent from anywhere on the network, even via a phone.
|
||||
|
||||
Being free, this software can be installed on as many computers as required,
|
||||
even on the home computers of worship leaders without additional cost. Compared
|
||||
to the expensive site licenses or restrictions of commercial software we believe
|
||||
OpenLP cannot be beaten for value. Still in active development by a growing team
|
||||
of enthusiastic developers, features are being added all the time, meaning the
|
||||
software just improves all the time.
