This is a multiplatform projection application which can run on Windows, Mac, and (of course) Linux. This project is open source, and is actively updated (weekly or less). I have been using this application for about 6 months and I'm satisfied for it. You can join the forum to report bugs, give comments, etc. Hope this help you.

Our senior pastor runs Windows XP and Powerpoint when he displays notes during his sermons. I rarely use slides during sermons. I have nothing against them, but it is often a distraction to me rather than a help. Doing a quick Google search, I came up with <a href="http://opensong.org">OpenSong</a> - maybe that can be an option for you? In our church we use hymnals, so we have no need for song lyrics.

We generally only display song lyrics and sermon notes (with image backgrounds, no video). What programs do you use? Impress is not flexible enough for making any changes on the fly during the service. We currently use Prologue Sunday Plus, which I can get working through WINE. But we've actually been wanting to replace that for a while. Unfortunately, out of the 3-4 programs that we're looking at. It's the only one that works in WINE.
