Techno Sermons
My church only recently began using a computerized program to project
various parts of the services on a screen. I feel it is distracting and
useless. It gets between me and the sermon. I prefer to look into the
BIBLE for my scripture reading and find "illustrating" the sermons with
slides of mountains, forests, and rivers completely unnecessary. Our
church even pretaped the children's Christmas Pageant and played it on
the screen so the kids could see themselves!! I can understand recording
the actual presentation so they can see it later...but AS the program.
Maybe by next Sunday, the pastor can just phone in his sermon!

Screens
My church uses one only for things such as picture presentations for
memorial services, or highlights of a youth or Habitat project, or
something of that nature. I expect I'll see one for the annual meeting.
If they used it for sermons, on a regular basis, I would probably find a
different church. If I wanted to be a Baptist, I'd be attending a
Baptist church.

Power Point
Yes, my pastor always uses Power Point. He has found an effective way
to reach more people. After all, we do have different learning styles
and while I am able to pay attention without the use of Power Point, I
retain much more because of it.
The key to remember in any Power Point presentation: Less is More. He
doesn't use fade ins or outs and no other fancy things that can be too
distracting from the message.
Our entire service is projected from the two large screens. It sure
helps to hear those singing voices better than when their heads are
buried in a hymnal. Of course, some song melodies are less familiar and
the congregation always has the hymn numbers given vie the bulletin as
well as the Power Point screen.

Power Point
My pastor does not and I doubt he ever will. My previous pastor did,
and I hated it. I had to sit through Power Point presentations two or
three times a week at work, and I certainly didn't want to sit through
another one on Sunday. I am perfectly able to pay attention to a
service without having visuals flashed on a screen.
In the case of Troudy's church and the deaf members, I can understand
it.

power points
Thank you Mr/Mrs.Hanson. We are using a screen to have the service on,
because we have deaf people and no one to sign. Helps them to read every
thing.
Have a blessed day

Power Point, etc.
Power Point is in the Microsoft Office package, and can be used to make
overhead projection visual aids. They're asking if your pastor uses
audio or video tools while he's preaching. ;)

Pastor
I wrote never, because I have no idea what youmeant by Power point? Do
you mean if he gets his sermons from the Internet?
Have a blessed week.
