Using a schedule interface, LyricsPro can be used to present lyrics, videos, images and PPT slides. Font formatting and setting up image and video backgrounds are also possible. Songs can be imported from SongSelect too.

I will be watching this project to see how it develops in future.

CONCLUSION
I heard you are scheduling an event at your church and need to get the information out to everyone. What should you do? The most common way is to print out a list and staple it to the church bulletin board, but I bet your bulletin board is now full of other important information that is older than this new event. Have no fear, there is a better way for you to connect with your church members — it’s called lyric software for church!
