New Computer, New Possibilities!

Thanks to Fred and Linda Wade who donated a personal computer (PC) to Peoples for worship, we can now record services directly onto the PC and upload them onto the blog as MP3s. There is a test version posted right now (see link to Worship Services), although we are still attempting to improve the format. This computer should also run faster and more smoothly than the pastors' laptops which we've been using for the last two years since introducing worship slides and videos on Sunday mornings.

What about tapes to shut-ins you may ask? Ruth McLellan has received the first MP3 player! The player is not much bigger than a spool of thread and has a built in speaker as well as ear phone jacks if preferred. The other option is to burn CDs but there are many advantages to using MP3 players.

Than you to Doug Greer for his continued leadership in running the audio/visual systems. He did a fabulous job running a brand new system on Easter Sunday. And thank you again to the Wades for their generous donation!
