Meeting with Pastor John and Greeting
Ok so this week's meeting was about about power point, I haven't got to do it yet, but some how we got to talking about power point. Pastor John really like to talk so I think he just brought it up on his own. He knows we have to write blogs and always makes sure that we have enough material to write about -he is really good at that.
Anyway back to power point: Pastor John explained that there is a lot to think about when typing out the songs or verses for the "big screen." He says that we need to make sure that font we pick is "old person sensitive", meaning that it had to appeal to their eye, because sometimes even though it is up there those with lesser seeing abilities might not see it clearly.
Also you would have to make sure that every space and line is not to big for the screen and doesn't get cut off on the sides. Last he mentioned that the font must not be too small, and yet it can't be too big.
This Sunday I got pass out bulletins and greet the People that come in to church. So, as I was coming getting ready for the church comers I knew that I would have to be happy and told myself that I will try my hardest to keep smiling the whole time, so I make the people welcome.
This was fun because I didn't have to do all the work!! what I mean is they all knew what to do they would come to me shake my hand, say good morning, take a bulletin, and be on their way. "WOW" that was easy and it was fun, but not as fun as for the guy who sands outside in the cold and opens the door for everyone, I mean he has a no fun job and yet he smiled more than I did, I think that it was just so cold that his face was frozen like that... who knows.
In conclusion to this week I learned that there are a lot of thing to check when putting the power point together, and experienced Welcoming in the congregation.

sounds like you had a week where you were learning something technical and something that could seem like a minor detail but you really grasped the positive lessons in that.
I appreciate that you seem to always have a positive attitude...in class, and through your blogs..
it's encouraging, keep it up!

greeting i think is one of the most important parts of the service. if people do not feel like they are welcome they are going to have a hard time getting anything out of a service.
