Empower Your Church
The golden hour in the Silver Oaks community wasn’t marked by the sunset, but by the rhythmic thwack of pickleball paddles and the popping of corks on Evelyn’s patio. At sixty-two, Evelyn didn’t feel like she was "winding down." If anything, the volume of her life had finally been turned up to a frequency she actually enjoyed.
As the clock struck midnight, Evelyn stood on the sidewalk, the cool air hitting her face. She felt a profound sense of liberation. In her youth, entertainment was a performance she had to dress up for. Now, it was an experience she owned. "Same time next week?" Marcus asked, his eyes bright.
That evening, the group didn’t head to a theater for a revival of a decades-old musical. Instead, they crowded into a sleek, underground lounge downtown—a place Evelyn’s daughter had recommended with a patronizing "You might find it a bit loud, Mom."
"Evelyn, are we doing the jazz cruise or the wine trek in Tuscany?" Marcus asked, leaning against the outdoor bar. Marcus was seventy, a retired architect who now spent his days designing elaborate birdhouses that looked like mid-century modern masterpieces.
"Tuscany," Evelyn said, sliding a plate of artisanal cheeses across the marble island. "I’m not ready for a boat where the main entertainment is a magician. I want dirt under my boots and a vintage that’s older than my youngest grandson."
This was the new "mature" entertainment: a rejection of the sedentary. They weren't just consuming culture; they were chasing it.

At our Bible college, we decided to switch to OpenLP because it was free. We found it to be feature-rich and easy to use. It's also constantly improving.
Hello, I love your software! Praise the Lord. The fact that you all are willing to provide this for free is amazing.
OpenLP has made a tremendous positive impact on our services. The singing has increased tenfold as even those with poor eyesight can clearly see the onscreen lyrics.
I have been using OpenLP for a couple of years and I found it very easy to navigate and despite never having used this type of software before was able to get a service up and running in a couple of minutes once I had installed the program.
Just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for a great product. I'm traveling around to small churches helping them upgrade their media environments. With little or no budgets, OpenLP has been a great help. I wish I could capture the look on a pastor's face when I tell him it's a free software.
Sunday morning I set the up projector, gave a 10 minute lesson to the young lady who does our overheads. Everything went smoothly. She was so excited, the congregation thought it was great, our priest was ecstatic.
