Lyric Backgrounds

Sitting in worship yesterday I noticed that every song had a different image or video background. You know, just because you can, doesn't mean you should! There's a point where the background becomes a distraction to the lyric.

To add insult to injury, the pastor's message again incorporated at least 6 different background images to drive the point home. I felt like I was in an Amway presentation!

The more I see technology over-used in worship services, I lean back toward white text on a black background. Remember when planning your presentations, whether lyrics or message points, that less is more.

How do you plan your background images for worship? Do you use flash motion files, looping video, still images, or nothing?
