Projecting Common English Bible text in worship

Some worship leaders have asked whether we will offer a worship projection edition of the Common English Bible. A worship projection edition of a new hymnal might make more sense because getting music and lyrics on a screen is a bit more difficult than cutting and pasting -- if the actual sheet music is allowed for display.

 

However, the actual process of getting verses onto the screen happens one of three ways:

  1. The computer operator, working in Powerpoint, manually types it in from a print edition.
  2. The operator, working in Powerpoint or an image manipulation app like Photoshop, copies and pastes the text from a website. In this case the operator simply goes to commonenglishbible.com and uses the scripture lookup untility.  Or if the church has a web site, they can download a scripture lookup widget that will pull up the text for copying and pasting to the screen.
  3. The operator, using a worship presentation program like MediaShout or ProPresenter, purchases the CEB module and can then call the relevant verses directly from a database for projection.

 

We do have other plans underway for the Common English Bible and the worship projection screen, so stay tuned.

Do you all have a time frame on when you'll release for ProPresenter and MediaShout?
Large Print soon?

I do well with cut and paste, but would love to have a copy with paper and ink that is Large Print. The first bibles you have out all have small type. I would have purchased several, except the type is too small.

Thanks for sharing this, about how to convert this topic to worship using slide show presentation in MS Powerpoint, its a good idea.
