Making & Running Slides
Why?
The Bible can be very intimidating for a guest and it is helpful to have the exact scripture up on the screen to help them visually see and engage with the passage. Slides also highlight the main points in the message which helps them remember the points after leaving the service.
Studies show that Worship is one of the most uncomfortable times for a new-comer because they do not know the songs. Having the lyrics up can help our guests feel more comfortable as they can participate if they would like. Having the words on the screen also helps everyone process the lyrics, what is being said, and worship God on a deeper level.

WHY?
We want to give God our excellence, including in our worship service. It may seem like a small task, but in order to foster an environment of spiritual growth, the atmosphere in the room plays a large part in meeting with God.
On the practical side, the slides, which contain song lyrics, scripture, sermon points, and announcements, are easier to read depending on when the lights are on or off.
