Run ProPresenter, lyrics, and service visuals so the room and screens stay in sync with the service flow.

Related checklist items

  • During the 1:30pm run-through on Saturdays, make a mental note of any lyric, look, flow, verse, or photo changes that come up.
  • Make sure lyrics are showing on the LED wall.
  • Make any needed changes to song lyrics or song flow order (Verse, Chorus, Bridge, Etc.)
  • During songs, advance lyrics slightly ahead of when the worship team sings them so the congregation has time to see the next line and process it.
  • Advance lyrics and graphics cleanly during worship, message, and transitions.
  • During the sermon, if the speaker skips a slide, disable it so you remember it was skipped in later services.
  • If the speaker goes through points in a different order than planned, rearrange the slides in ProPresenter to match the actual order.
  • Coordinate timing changes with the producer and video switcher as needed.
