How To Use this Christmas Joy
Offering PowerPoint
There are three different resources available in this package,
whether you get them online or from a CD:
- The Christmas Joy Offering background
PowerPoint;
- The automated Christmas Joy Offering
minute for mission PowerPoint and
- The manual Christmas Joy Offering
minute for mission PowerPoint.
The Christmas Joy Offering background
PowerPoint
If your congregation likes to project your messages, announcements,
scripture readings, hymn selections, etc. on a screen to make
them easier for members to read, consider using this background
to frame those messages this Advent. It can be used with or
without the accompanying music and can be extended to whatever
length you need for your announcements.
The automated Christmas Joy Offering
minute for mission PowerPoint
This two-minute presentation, complete with music, explains
the mission of the offering and how the two groups benefiting
from the offering support that mission with their ministries.
It can be used instead of a live minute for mission or can supplement
one.
The manual Christmas Joy Offering
minute for mission PowerPoint
This presentation, which can be used with or without music,
offers the same visuals as the automated version, but includes
a script that a presenter can read to accompany the different
frames of the PowerPoint. (Right-click the "Christmas_Joy"
CD icon within "My Computer", and select "Explore"
to view all files on the CD).
The script is marked to allow an accompanist to know when to
advance to the next screen. To view the script in the speakers
notes box during the presentation, you must have the full version
of the PowerPoint software. The PowerPoint viewer installed
on this CD does not support viewing of the speakers notes. |
