comments on the new software

Hey everyone -  

As I mentioned in the email, I'm testing a new software.

I'll be honest, I love it.  But I have some concerns - specifically the font size on the printouts of the charts.  I'd love to hear some feedback on that and on the format in general.

Ultimately we'd still keep this site up and running, but it would become more of what it was intended to be - a forum for discussion - rather than what it's become - the place to post the list.

Let me know your thoughts about all of the above (and more) by posting a comment.

thanks.

Hello all - 

What a great morning we had yesterday.  I was tremendously blessed by the entire service.  Encouragement after encouragement throughout.

This week, in an effort to shorten things up in light of the ministry fair, things are getting shuffled a bit.

The Announcements/Ministry highlights are simultaneous to the Offering and both happen immediately after the first set of songs rather than after Communion.  Once the offering has been taken and the ministry highlights have been completed, we can make the transition to the Lord's table.  We'll sing during that and then after the song and prayer of response we can dismiss the kids.  I think that should keep things fairly short, all things considered.

Ernie - great passage yesterday, thanks for your work in selecting it.  This week, since we're trying to shorten everything, something a little more brief might be in order.

Jake - let's go acoustic all the way this Sunday.

If anyone has any thoughts or comments, let me know.

Thanks to all of you.  I was re-listening to Steve's last message about a passion for the people of God in Philippians 1, how Paul says that he thanks God always, in every prayer.  I can't claim to be as frequent in my remembrance or in my prayer, but I can say that I do thank God for all of you and I do it frequently.  I love serving with you all and I look forward to it every week.  God is good, and he's good to me through all of you.  Thanks for your love for the church and your commitment to serve.

Hello all - 

Here we have the thoughts for this week.  

Musicians - we're going to try something this week with "How great thou art" and "Thank you for saving me."  We're going to sing the first two verses and the chorus of "How great" and then move to the chorus of "Thank you."  We'll sing through the entirety of "Thank you" before going back to the final verse and chorus of "How great."  Thematically, I think it will work really well.  Musically, it'll get a bit tricky.  Practice both songs, if you would, this week.  I don't have the keys yet (they probably won't be as written - at least for one of them), but getting a feel for both songs will help.

Tech team - note the transitions above because it will come into play with the slide transitions.

Thanks everyone - if you have any questions or comments, post them.

Hey all - 

The singing will be slightly abbreviated this Sunday due to a bunch of other stuff that will be taking up time.  So, we'll do two songs prior to the Scripture reading and then one afterward.  We will be ready to do "Speak, O Lord" during the offering/before the message, but I have a feeling that we won't be end up singing it due to time.

If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions, please let me know via comment.

Thanks for all the care you give to the church through your ministry.
