Spend the time to make your slides look nice and enhance your experience. Some people have some varying views on these tips, but for the most part, you’ll find most designers agreeing with me. Share these 10 Tips for Preparing & Executing Worship Slides. Train your leaders that your service starts when the counter drops and set guidelines to when is too late to add content to your presentation. In my experience, very last minute changes affect the concentration of the team and can throw your execution game off. Gently encourage your leaders to not make any last minute changes.
Break lyrics up where they make sense when reading them and produce your slide where there are roughly the same length on each line.ġ0. Another acceptable option is to us all capital letters for lyrics.ĭon’t leave one or two small words hanging by themselves on one line.
I also never use commas, periods, or punctuation marks – you’re not winning grammar awards here – you’re making slides nice and clean for people to worship. Another good practice is to only capitalize the first word of every sentence. There are some varying views on this, but I’ll tell you what I usually land on: My rule of thumb is to only capitalize names of God and pronouns like “I”. Set up consistent Capitalization and Punctuation Rules. You should only use your cursor to catch a worship leader on a rogue lyric or to fire a video element.Ĩ. You should primarily be using the space-bar to advance your way through your media content. Set up your presentation software in the order of the service. Don’t use directional statements on screen – remove all words and phrases like “REPEAT 2X”, “MEN ONLY”, “BRIDGE”.ħ. If you sing one line repeatedly, it should be on one slide and the slide should be duplicated in your presentation software. Avoid Repeated Lines or “Hymnal Directions”. You never want to see a cursor, a desktop background, another program, or anything else on your screens besides media content from your presentation software.Ħ. Never let your audience see what’s going on “behind the scenes”. A good rule of thumb for leading lyrics is to advance to the next slide when your worship leader sings the next to last word on the slide.ĥ. We’ve all been there – you’re singing along and you’re 2 lines into the next slide before the operator advances to the next slide of lyrics. Nothing is worse than being late on lyrics. Poor design may distract your congregation from worshiping. (Check out my article “ 5 Go-To Worship Fonts” for more on this topic.)Ĭheesy clip art or rainbow backgrounds are not only just poor design, it distracts your congregation from worshiping.
