Mediashout 4.5 - How to Setup the Worship Slides

Posted: Sep 01, 2011 |Comments: 0 |

Mediashout 4.5 is one of the leading church software products today.  It is designed to help churches with presentations for Sunday morning services and other services throughout the week.  While the software is great for use in churches, some people are not sure how you should setup the words to the songs.  There is a science to setting up the worship lyrics in the presentation software, and you want to make sure the lyrics to the songs are presented in the best possible format. 

Mediashout 4.5 includes many motion backgrounds that are appropriate for specific songs in the worship set.  It is very important that volunteers who operate the presentation software for the worship service do not have the ability to change the worship backgrounds for the songs.  There are specific backgrounds that should be used for specific songs.  If you use a motion background that is not appropriate for the worship song, then it is going to be very distracting to the congregation.  Make sure that you only have trained people who can change the worship backgrounds of any of the lyrics. 

Once the congregation has used the motion backgrounds for the lyrics, you might find the motion backgrounds are distracting regardless of what backgrounds are used.  It is possible that the congregation will get used to the new motion backgrounds, but you might find that the motion backgrounds need to be taken out of the slides if they are too distracting to the worship time. 

One of the major distractions in the presentation software occurs when the words to the songs are not setup correctly.  A song with lyrics that have several misspelled words can be very distracting to people singing the music. 

The lyrics to the songs should be presented appropriately in Mediashout 4.5.  Periods, musical pauses, and commas are the best places to end the line in the presentation software.  You don't want 10 lines of text for a song on the same slide.  It is best if you can limit the number of lines in one presentation slide to four or five slides.  You also want to cut down on the punctuation.  While punctuation is great most of the time, it is not necessary to use commas and periods throughout the lyrics. 

When the lyrics are displayed on the screen, the font needs to be seen clearly.  Do not let the background overtake the purpose of the slide.  Use bold text on top of the background so it is clear that the text is the most important aspect of the slide. 

These are just a few simple strategies to follow when you are setting up the lyrics to the songs you will be singing.  Make sure the church is using software that is user-friendly so that people from all technical backgrounds can easily learn the software.  Finding volunteers for worship services is difficult, but it is much more difficult to find volunteers when there are only specific people in the congregation who can learn how to use the presentation software.  Church presentation software like Mediashout 4.5 makes it easy for anyone to run the software during services.

    Historic Black College choirs across the country traditionally visit local community churches. For many churches it's reminiscent of a homecoming. Alum, prospective students and the community at large celebrate the choir, enjoy and appreciate the sacred music, pay tribute to loved ones that have helped financially support and embraced the school's mission which instills pride in the hope and dream of surviving and making it in a harsh world. Their presence is a testament of God's goodness.
