I really am enjoying this topic about the BN in church. I just wanted to add my "two cents" in. I, too am the worship leader at my church. I use it to put the words on and teach my team members. One other use is to type my notes from the sermons that are preached. Tonight, I'll be teaching a lesson on prayer. I'll write my notes on it and teach from it. Thanks.
