[USA Today] 20 Mar 2009--When Joe Christian started planning church services 35 years ago, it meant spending hours flipping through hymnals and copying sheet music.
Today, it's point, click, worship.
Christian, the music minister at Una Baptist Church in Nashville, is one of more than 12,000 people who have signed up for a new iTunes-like website called LifeWayworship.com. Along with buying recordings of worship songs and hymns, users can create and download sheet music for church bands and choirs. LifeWay officials hope their new site will make life easier for music ministers, while following copyright laws.
"We've needed to do this for a long time," Christian says.
The LifeWay Worship Project is also a great resource for non-Baptist churches. LifeWay has produced The Worship Hymnal, a non-denomination version of the new Baptist Hymnal. All the recordings and down loads are available to users of The Worship Hymnal.
