The title of the post says it all really!
With the vast numbers of resources that contain hymns and worship songs – both old and new – I think it would be really interesting to take a snap pole of what books/sites/other resources are used by ChurchMag readers and their churches!
I’m in the UK and my Church (Minehead Baptist Church) and many others I know over here mainly use the ‘Songs of Fellowship‘ music books from the UK based Christian publisher and music label Kingsway.
We primarily project the songs, but print some large copies out for people as well. For new songs, not in the books, we often use music books produced by Spring Harvest – the biggest annual UK Christian conference/holiday – which also happens to take place in my town 
I’ve always wondered what other around the world use!
So what worship books/sites/resources do you and/or your Church use?
We actually stopped using hymn books a couple of years ago. We mainly have contemporary music, so they were rarely used on the handful of classics per month. We now use CCLI’s SongSelect integration with ProPresenter, and that’s how we do all the songs in our services.
In addition to projection in-service, CCLI allows our worship leaders to have access to charts anywhere, so it’s makes planning a whole lot easier.
Thanks Josh. CCLI sure is handy!
Yeah, the Songs of Fellowship books are awesome. They don’t only contain stuff from Kingsway though, which is what’s really awesome… they have stuff from Vineyard and Hillsongs and a few others.
Of course in our church we use OpenLP[0] for projecting the songs.
One of the sites I really love is Worship Archive[1] because it has tons and tons of songs with chords, and by just clicking the chord at the top of the screen you can transpose the song to an easier key.

Another SoF person – cool! My Church uses opensong
and I actually look after the SoF in opensong versions: http://www.minehead-baptist.com/resources/opensong/ (got to do book 5…)
And I love worship archive – also handy for transposing worship songs into ‘C’ for playing on the ukulele!!!

Thanks for the link Jason.
We project lyrics using Powerpoint – soon to be ProPresenter. We use CCLI as source for most lyrics.
Another vote for ProPresenter and CCLI!
WE currently use Zionworx (http://www.zionworx.org.uk/ – No new updates for couple of years) a free software for lyric projection, just cuz its neat and simple but use CCLI to obtain lyrics, looking to move onto purchasing Easy Worship also though http://easyworship.com/
