Methodist Ndwom Projection

Every hymn on the wall, in one keystroke. Built around the hymnals your congregation already sings from — so the media team searches by number, by title, or by a line half-remembered, and the congregation sees it the moment they press Project.

Lectionary services

Everything the service needs

Hymns, scripture, the creeds and the lectionary, in one window — no switching between programs mid-service.

Three hymnals, searched as one

The Methodist Hymn Book, the Fante Ndwom and the Christian Asore Ndwom. Search by number, by title, or by any line of the lyrics — and Fante matches whether or not you type ɔ and ɛ.

The full Bible

King James and American Standard. Type John 3:16, Ps 23 or 1 Cor 13:4-7 and it resolves, or search a phrase you half-remember across all 66 books.

Creeds and canticles

The Apostles' and Nicene Creeds, the Te Deum and 77 canticles, each in English and Fante. Long creeds break across several slides instead of one unreadable wall of text.

The lectionary year

All 61 services with theme, occasion, liturgical colour and the Old Testament, Psalm, Epistle and Gospel readings — and every one of them editable.

Sermon slides

Bold, italic, bullets, numbering and alignment, with a background image for the whole deck or a different one on a single slide.

Order of service

Queue hymns, readings, creeds and decks in order, rename each line the way your order sheet reads, then save the service and open it again next week.

In the service

Designed around what actually happens on a Sunday morning, when the operator has seconds and the congregation is watching.

Nothing reaches the screen by accident

Browsing only ever stages. Search for the next reading and choose the verse to start from — the congregation keeps seeing the hymn until you press Project.

English and Fante, mid-verse

MHB 5 and MNB 5 are one hymn in two languages. One key swaps them, holding the verse the congregation is already singing.

Black, blank or logo

Clear the wall for prayer with one key, while the operator's own screen keeps the verse in place — so you return to exactly where you were.

Text that always fits

Every slide is measured before it is shown, so a long stanza shrinks to fit rather than running off the bottom of the wall.

Second screen, found automatically

The projector is detected and named. Full screen on the wall, controls on the laptop — and if the cable is pulled, the operator window stays put.

Fante exactly as printed

ɔ, ɛ, Ɔ, Ɛ and every accented vowel render correctly, on a font stack chosen to carry every character in the books. The text is never altered.

Works without wifi

A licence key activates the church's computers once, over the internet. After that the software opens and runs entirely offline — because sanctuaries rarely have a reliable signal.

One licence · up to two computers

Nothing else to install

Everything the software needs ships inside it — hymns, Bible, fonts and runtime. No Java installation, nothing to configure.

One installer · about 190 MB installed
