Three Technological Developments

Yesterday we made three technological developments that you might be interested in:

  1. Embedded Video: For the Video sermon illustration for this coming Sunday, I've managed to take the movie clip and embed it in the presentation. What this means: playing the movie is as simple as moving through to the next slide and thus the sermon should flow more smoothly.
  2. Website: With help from Tony Wood I've gotten started on rebuilding the church website upon the more expansive, widely used, and free Wordpress platform. The old website will remain in place until we launch the new one.
  3. Recording Sermons: We've wanted to make recordings of the sermon available online and by CD for shut-ins, but the process was very time consuming and the results were of questionable quality. We received a new portable digital recorder (a Tascam DR-1) that in early tests is easily and simply producing very high quality recordings.
