Hymns on PowerPoint

[carolaa]

I am getting ready to put some hymns from the SDA Hymnal onto PowerPoint. However, it occurred to me that maybe someone has already put all the hymns on PowerPoint, and I could just buy it. But I'm not finding anything like that online. Surely this is not a new idea! Does anyone know of a source to find these lyrics on PowerPoint?

And is it legal for me to put lyrics on PowerPoint?

Don't know Carol. But just wanted to say hi and that it's good to see you again.

Don't know of any, will have a bit of a look around. I know when churches use the Hillsongs and other contemporary songs on PowerPoint for congregational singing they often include a copyright notice on the bottom. Not sure of the actual legalities.

Of course, at one point I was told that singing from PowerPoint slides was an evil plot: if people's hands aren't occupied with hymn books, they might raise them in worship, or even... clap!

Scroll down to the bottom left of this page and check it out: you may at least be able to find the lyrics in a pdf so you can copy and paste to PowerPoint instead of copy type...

I was told it was another way of getting Adventists to watch TV rather than read their Bibles!!
