GRASS VALLEY, Calif. — Grass Roots Software, a leader in presentation and multimedia solutions for church communicators, announced a new version of SundayPlus, the company's affordable and easy-to-use worship presentation software. According to a news release the new version features broadcast quality text titling, digital photo retouching tools and unprecedented stability.

SundayPlus was originally developed to coordinate graphics support with live speakers and musicians for the renowned Promise Keepers' events. SundayPlus is a robust presentation solution for church communicators who want to control non-linear live presentations, digital images, text, video playback, Flash, sound files and PowerPoint.

Pre-loaded with 170 images, 700 hymns, two Bible translations (KJV and ASV) and 24 moving backgrounds, SundayPlus can be used for a wide variety of worship venues, ranging from large churches with full-scale audio and video set-up to small churches working with linear presentation applications, such as PowerPoint.

The new version includes an on-board spell checker pre-loaded with common Bible names and places, and suggestions for misspelled words. Text can be dragged from outside programs, including Web browsers and PDF files directly to the text editor. The GoFile feature allows users to transfer presentations between multiple computers; this functionality combined with SundayPlus' automatic site license make it a perfect solution for ministries dependent on volunteers.

"We are committed to providing volunteer-friendly software," said Lou Douros, president of Grass Roots Software. "Using SundayPlus, church media directors create visually compelling presentations, regardless of technical skill set. SundayPlus 2.4's intuitive interface, drag and drop functionality and reliable playback make it simple for volunteers to enlarge the worship experience."
