+OpenLP stands for “Open Lyrics Projection” and is presentation software
+developed for churches to provide a single easy to use interface for the
+projection needs of a typical worship service.
+First created in 2004, it has steadily grown in features and maturity such
+that it is now a mainstay in hundreds of churches around the world.
+
+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 capability allows the worship leader to change songs, or for alert
+messages to be sent from anywhere on the network, even via smart phone/tablet.
