Do you use a phone in church?
On
Sunday the preacher had to clarify what he said on the previous week about
using phones and mobile devices in church. He simply said that you can use them
check in, post a verse or thoughts about the sermon or invite your friends. He
also said that he didn't want that to be an excuse to play angry birds during
church.
Church
Sunday was pretty interesting in that it was not traditional. It wasn't someone
standing up there reading from the bible and talking about what was just read.
The service was much more interactive. The preacher joked about using mobile
devices. There were PowerPoint slide with clear points and illustrations and
pictures. He also provided a fill in the blank sheet that helped those that
needed to be more active. The preacher was able to keep the interest of
everyone. He related to everyone in the church and was able to get his points
across clearly.
I know
that this was unconventional for this church. I think that some of the older
people may not be used to this style of preaching, and may have opinions of it.
I think with a little time they will get used to this and will like it. It will
be interesting to see how things play out. I liked it and would like to see
more of this interactive style. I think that it was a pretty good tactic to use to try to reach out to everyone. I would like
to see where this leads. Will the preacher keep using interactive tools? How
will the crowd react to this? Does this work better than the old style? Maybe it
is just me.

Hi Denise,
ReplyDeleteInteresting post. I must admit I am one that would usually the traditional way of attending service. However, since my eyes have become awaken to many new technolgies, I am leaning right in the middle of having some technology interaction and the traditional style as well.
We are currently experiencing the same issue at my church. You are right, it will be interesting how things will play out for the older or non-techy(s).
Great Post,
Crystal
Yes Crystal I agree. I think that they are trying to reach out to kids and a good way to keep them engaged is through social media.
DeleteI think that would make so many more people want to "tune" in. It would get people there and make them want to get the message. I think sometimes the way the bible is worded makes it difficult for people to understand. Anything that gets God's message across to everyone is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good point and I agree as well.
