 wor·ship
by Renee Harms
Recently a friend recounted to me a worship experience she had just had where she hadn't felt like being worshipful. It took place after a church gathering during which some heavy things had been expressed. She said, "At the end of the meeting, a woman got up to lead us in worship, but I didn't feel like worshiping at all!"
I have to admit I resonated with those feelings. There has certainly been more than one occasion when, for one reason or another, I have not felt like participating in spiritual worship, when it has almost felt like I'm forcing it. Maybe I've had a disagreement with someone, or life situations are overwhelming me, or I don't think God is being fair. I can think of times when, standing amidst a throng of worshipers, I feel suddenly out of place, uncomfortable, resistant-and I don't feel like worshiping.
Perhaps that means I have lost the true meaning of worship.

PowerPoint Quick Tip:
Using Motion in PowerPoint
|
Although PowerPoint does not allow text or other graphics to be placed over movie files, you can use Oxygen's unique motionbacks to enhance the look and feel of your slides.
Here's how...
1. Insert menu>>>Movies and Sounds>>>Movie From File
2. select the motionback that you want to use.
3. Choose to automatically start the slide show.
4. Resize & move the motionback so that the image is to the side, above, or below your text area.
5. Select a regular background for the remainder of the slide
Now you have a motion slide that doesn't interrupt or interfere with your PowerPoint program.

PowerPoint Lessons for Pastors
By: Anthony D. Coppedge, CTS for Oxygen Ministries
According to the surveys I've read and those that I have conducted myself, over 80% of churches use Microsoft's PowerPoint's as their main presentation software. So it's fairly likely that you're one of 8-in-10 people that fit into this category. Even if you're only using PowerPoint for your announcement graphics or digital signage, this article is designed to provide you with some helpful tips and hints about using this popular software program.
HOW DO I…
Because most Pastors and Music Ministers don't spend the majority of their time building graphics, Oxygen has developed simple to use, high quality graphics to help provide that extra graphical support. More recently, Oxygen has started their new Worship Series that includes both full screen backgrounds of various colors and patterns and new add-in artwork that gives you serious flexibility to get the "look" you want.
I'll show pictures of each version for the theme as we progress into the simple process of creating layered graphics with easy commands and mouse clicks. All of the work was done with PowerPoint 2003 on a PC, but the menus and layout are nearly identical to previous versions of the software for both PC and Apple computers.
