During the last few weeks, you might have noticed something different about the morning worship service: song lyrics are displayed in the front of the sanctuary with a new projector purchased by the pastors. Many people have commented that this has been a wonderful experience: some people can see the large projected words but have had trouble seeing the small print in hymnals, many have said they enjoy having their hands free, and others have noticed that the singing is louder because people have their heads up.
These are some of the main reasons we had for trying out the projector in worship. The intention is to aid all of us in having a fuller worship experience. Some folks may still want to use the hymnals, especially those who read the harmony lines from the music. We will continue to print hymn numbers in the bulletin for this reason. But in summary, the goal of the projector use is to give us more freedom to worship God!
We have also used the projector to display announcements before worship begins. For some, the print in the bulletin is too small and this has been helpful. Visitors may also find this helpful. All of the announcements will continue to be printed in the bulletin, but we are hoping that the additional format will cut down on the number of announcements that need to be explained by the worship leader.
Occasionally we will also use the projector to display worship videos and movie clips. These will be used regularly in the Sunday evening worship service starting up soon.
We would appreciate hearing any feedback you might have on the use of the projector.
