Most people can figure out a hymnal, but it might take a first time visitor a few songs to get the hang of it. By that point, however, the music will be coming to a close.
Putting the lyrics on the big screens does a couple of important things:
- They get people to look up while they worship. If everyone is looking up, no visitor will be fumbling through the hymn book to find the right song. Now, you can still use the hymnal. Just be sure to post the lyrics on the big screen, too.
- When people are looking up, they’re able to sing out much better than if they’re looking down. Physically, the wind pipe isn’t as crimped. (Side note: some would argue that standing is better for singing than sitting, and I would agree. However, I wouldn’t expect a church that is mainly elderly to stand for 30-minutes of worship. You have to base the stand/sit issue on your demographic.)
