Talk about a whirlwind...

When we last heard from our intrepid blogger...

The message went great...first service. I played the video clip from Star Wars and the tie-in was obvious. The message wnet smoothly, and considering I rearely looked at my outline, I pretty much covered everything. Only proplem was that I tended to forget to advance the Powerpoint slides.

Then second service came. We were half-way through the song right before the message when I realized I forgot to re-cue the video clip!. So I did my best impression of Yoda (not bad, if the chuckles from the younger kids in the audience mean anything), and forged ahead.

We've since purchased a wireless presenter mouse/control so we can work slides from anywhere in the sanctuary. I get to try it our for real this Sunday during our prayer service (to kick off the new year). I will combine music (live and CDs) with projected images as we conduct a "concert of prayer" using the Lord' prayer as an outline.
