Church Spotlight, continued...
How long have you been using visual graphics in your church service,
and why did you start using visual imagery with your sermons?
We’ve been using visual graphics in our service for a little over three years. The outline presentation gives the congregation something they can write down and use to study later on in the week.
What presentation software/equipment do you use for your multimedia?
For two and a half years we used a laptop with just PowerPoint. Last November we purchased a dual monitor computer that is dedicated to worship presentations and had EasyWorship installed.
What has been the response to using graphics with your sermons?
From what I have heard from the congregation the graphics and outline sermon presentation enhances their understanding of what is being preached. Having the scripture up on the screen helps the person who has limited knowledge of the Bible to be able to read along with the scripture.
What is one Oxygen image that has been particularly powerful in your ministry setting?
It is so difficult to choose just one! We’ve used the picture of the cross with the crown on it quite a bit. It is truly satisfying when I find a picture that represents exactly what my pastor is going to preach on that Sunday.
Where are you headed with multimedia in your worship services? I want to incorporate more of the motion backgrounds during the song services. I also want to be able to have a live video feed to help with the transition between points.
