Every generation within the church embraces new worship styles and methods. In this technology age, Peoples as embraced these changes incredibly well, some of which have included rockin' worship videos and hymn lyrics projected on the front wall. 50 years ago this would have been unheard of, but not today!
This is especially helpful for visitors and may help them to feel more comfortable in worship. For instance, many unchurched visitors have never heard of the Lord's Prayer, let alone know how to find it quickly in our hymnal. Whoever is working the A/V system advances the slides for each part of worship, including a slide containing the Lord's Prayer. Folks who have trouble holding the hymnal (or seeing the small words) have commented how helpful it is to have these words up on the slides too.
Rob Kamilewicz, as well as Charlie Lyons, Tom Nelson and Doug Greer work audio/visual miracles with our computer and sound system every Sunday during worship. The pastors generally design the slide show, including all of the hymn lyrics, and other helpful slides to facilitate worship. Then the A/V person ensures that the proper slide is up at the right time, and helps to adjust the sound for the proper microphone and the appropriate sound level for preaching, choir singing, worship videos, etc.. It's a lot of work staying on top of that!
If you might be interested in helping out with this ministry, please see the pastors, or any of the current A/V workers. We'll be happy to train you so no computer experience is necessary!
