Joey and I spent four hours today working on the slides for Sunday. This is our first Sunday with the new projector and we've put a lot of effort into creating slides to go along with sermon. Today we practiced with the slides. These are the notes we took as we updated slides, created new ones, and went through the presentation for Sunday.
Sermon Slide Notes
I know these are difficult, not only because of my fabulous writing(!) but also because it's a light scan. [Edit: It also seems that the image is not able to be blown up. Sorry.] But the basic text on the left contains the sermon point, titles/descriptions, and a few notes that correspond to both the point and the slide. The admittedly sloppy writing includes cues for a new slide and even notes on slides that we created "on the fly" as we practiced and discussed.
We are excited about our ability to use slides to help our teaching. The slides will include scripture readings as well as questions and major points in the sermon. You will be able to follow along better because, instead of flipping through your bible to find a passage I am referencing (and, consequently, not being able to listen as you flip), you will be able to follow along on the screen.
This is a big innovation and improvement for us. Please pray that it leads us deeper into knowledge of God and also that it helps us reach others with the good news of Jesus through our teaching.
