You Don't HAVE To Pay For ProPresenter.

Do you need expensive software to run lyrics slides in church?
Big media suites like ProPresenter are great applications, but many small churches don't need or can't afford these presentation behemoths. And that is ok, all your church really needs to sing in worship is simple lyrics slides (and sometimes not even that). Google slides is a free cloud based application that your church could use to start running slides in worship for free. And with a $35 chromecast (that's another video) you can easily display them on a TV or projector.
And no, this is not a Google advertisement. I just really like free stuff. And Google keeps making it.

I did have ShareFaith presenter at around $200 a year, but now that I am quicker at doing slides, PowerPoint works just fine.

[@markhawks9125]

An older iMac (2011 or newer) in 2020 can run Keynote which does not require the internet to run and the hardware can run multiple screens. Lots of control. As a side note Pages that you mentioned is a word processor not presentation software, similar to Word. Keynote is Apple's version of presentation software and is free for Mac users. We use it at our church (almost no budget) and drive 3 TVs with a 2011 iMac via the Thunderbolt ports. The biggest limitation is not being able to edit an upcoming slide while in a presentation.

[@stuff.church]

Did I say Pages when i meant Keynote, my bad. I love Keynote as well, but obviously not available to all churches for free. Sounds like you have a good set up at your church!

[@yeya24la]

Good idea, but doesn't really work for on-the-fly worship (meaning not planned ahead). Any other suggestions?

[@stuff.church]

Proclaim is pretty decent

[@matthewpharis1544]

Can you sink this with songslect or do you have to type in all the words.

[@stuff.church]

You'd have to type or copy-paste

[@LRETV]

Nice video. Will chrome cast work with an older projector

[@ReawakenHymns]

If the projector has a HDMI input it should

[@LRETV]

Reawaken Hymns Thank you

[@Just3mer]

I did that

[@fernando3dban]

Super amazing thek blessed

[@LRETV]

Can you cast to two different screens at the same time?

[@stuff.church]

Not officially. There are hacks to do so, but they aren't ideal.

[@LRETV]

Mina Studio thank you.

[@TheMigx2]

How about openLP.??

[@stuff.church]

Another great option

[@BenReese]

I like OpenLP. We use PowerPoint for songs and OpenLP for scripture. Just because PowerPoint is slightly easier to edit in. Although..... I'll probably write a macro to export all our PowerPoint docs to CSV though 🤔

[@CalebKepleyMusic]

I'm a muslin

[@stuff.church]

If you meant muslim then it is nice to meet you.

[@BenReese]

Even if you are a blanket, it's nice to meet you.
