I’m having fun today as I prepare my sermon for Sunday.
The sermon will be shorter. There are a number of prompters to worship besides the sermon. So, I’m punching twice as much into the sermon — using additional powerpoint "oomph!"
What do I find so interesting? Over the past few years I’ve taken a number of photographs. This powerpoint will feature a number of those pictures. People, things, landscapes, workshops — just the type of portraits that will hopefully give an added perspective.
Tomorrow? A final run through — revamping of the sermon script. Possibly revamping the powerpoint.
By the way, have you heard of a new sport dubbed pecha-kucha (Japanese for “chatter”). You use powerpoint: a simple set of rules – exactly 20 slides displayed for 20 seconds each, for a total presentation time of 6 minutes and 40 seconds. 14 presenters going head to head in an evening "competition". Might be something church youth groups could explore??
