Weekly Report # 9
30 March 2007
I created the power point they needed for worship.
Today I went down to the church around 3pm and met up with the pastor. He had five song lyrics sheets and the order waiting for me. I brought my computer because we had planned on me making the power point for this Sunday. I have been really bored with the typical blue background that they have had forever, so I proposed a new idea; a lighthouse background. I had him wait to see the final product before he made his decision. He actually liked it! I’m not sure how some of the older people in the church will react? I did all of the important stuff we talked about from class; dark vs. light (background vs. words). Most of the picture was of the sky and the lighthouse was towards the side, so it was easy to fit the words all on the screen. I made the words white to stand out against the dark blue sky. It did look really good and I can’t wait to see what everyone else thinks. Change can be good. I think a change like this will teach people to focus more on god than all of the little details, even though it looks SWEET!
As a result of this observation, I learned about how to make a professional power point and the possible effects of change (will have to wait until Sunday).

Well I hope your moment of change didn't cause an uproar in response, but it sounds like you got to have a great experience with trying to integrate old and new in a church that is in transistion time. Hope it went well.
