Dear friends,
We celebrated a day of technological innovation in celebration of the Lord today. Mike MacMurray brought his laptop and slide projector to church and we had a service with a difference. We started with who was on duty this morning - courtesy of our Blog site, which Mike copied into the presentation - and then the Bible readings and the Hymns were projected in order of the service.
It worked fantastically well. In the long term this could lead to a paperless environment in the church, as everything is on the screen. Yours truly had to do a crash course on the laptop, to manage the slides, and all went relatively well, with a blapses on my part, here and there. Thank you, for you patience, Mike.
The Marksman Online printouts, are now established on the notice board, in the A S Welsh Hall, available to all the congregation, who do not have access to the internet. This seems to be working well and the postings are managed on a weekly basis.
More good news is that Mac McTaggert has been quietly repairing our Supplementary Hymn books. The bindings on most are in tatters. Mac has bought a binder and he will do about 30 books a week, until all are repaired. One never knows - a power failure could negate the technological leaps, we're are making.
Beth is on leave until the 28th September, so Colleen will be in the office.
Remember the service starts at 10h00 sharp, next week and that time slot will remain. Solomon is also planning an 08h00 Communication service, once a month. We will have more on that story, once our sign offs are in place.
Our thoughts are with Norman and Liz, who are burying their loved ones this week. Please uphold them in your prayers.
Blessings,
The St Mark's Editorial team.
Let's look for hope in the small things that brighten our lives. And yes let's pray for those who are grieving. Our hearts go out to Liz on the loss of her brother and to Norman for the loss of his father.Further funds were forthcoming to help him get to Zimbabwe. The Lord is great.
