 | Power - Point - Preaching:
Video projection is one of the most rapid trends to spread across
churches. This trend spans denominational borders as well as
geographic ones. It also spans a crucial chronologic border - most
pastors preaching today developed their particular styles in a setting that
did not include a video screen. Some elements of preaching span all
contexts - and some don't. This one day seminar helps preachers to
consider such issues as:
 | How do the congregation, the screen, and I
interact? |
| What software should I use for the sermon slides? |
| What software should I use to control the presentation? |
| Who should advance the slides? |
| Do I need a monitor? |
| What kind of images should I use? |
| Where do I find images? |
| What about text? |
| How do I incorporate video clips? |
| What equipment do we need? |

| Untangling the Wires

In the first century
A.D., the technology of Roman roads and sailing vessels sped the
spread of the Gospel. During the Reformation, it was the printing
press. Today we have video projection, laser printers, and the
Internet. Along with the capabilities offered by these tools, come
maintenance problems, upgrade questions, and constant budget stresses.
Technology can be both a blessing and a burden for churches today.

| If you are a church
leader, then you already know that in some ways churches are very much
like other businesses and organizations—yet in very essential ways
churches are different. The same principle applies to technology
utilization. Though we can borrow some expertise from other fields,
wisely integrating technology in the church requires specialized
knowledge of both ministry and technology. |
| In this one day
seminar, you will gain a “big picture” perspective of how
technology can be harnessed in furtherance of the vision and purpose
of your church. You will also learn some very handy practical tips.
Your church can then become more effective and intentional. |
