Dear Reverend Phillipe,

thank you for your question for us here at 123PPT.com.

The use of PowerPoint in preaching, sermons, and gatherings, is most common place in for example the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe, and could perhaps be seen merely as a next step in terms of communicating with your local parish.

Naturally, as with the spoken word itself, content is still of greatest importance Phillipe, and may I ask what your thoughts of using PowerPoint are? so that I may better understand your situation.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

I would agree totally with you Phillipe. I believe that using a projector is indeed a very strong way to gain the attention of your congregation and perhaps no where more strongly captured than at your church's altar.

I would advise you in this case Reverend, not to use a PowerPoint template, or design, as I think that this would distract your audience and lessen the impact of oyur reading.

Using only large bold words that have a clear and apparent contrast to the colour of your altar is a very storng and powerful way to put specific words or phrases to your congregation and have those words stand out and carry great weight.

If I may also suggest Phillipe, do not use any music or background sound effects, or visual imagery such as photographs or illustrations.

As you speak your congregation will of course be listening to your every word. Using PowerPoint and a projector to porject key words and phrases from your speech onto your altar will help your audience understand and appreciate the importance of these words.

Using images, or music, would again detract your audience from these words and their power, and lessen their strength.

Often music and images used incorreclty can also be problematic in that it can appear as a parody or comedic Reverend, and again I would imagine the point of your story is serious and has valid meaning?

Dear Phillipe,

what I mean is that in using only large bold projected words against your altar instead of images, or music, the power and strength of these words will be much greater and have a greater impact and effect upon your audience.

You can of course use images and music if you wish, but I would recommend not to do so to maxmize the impact of your sermon.

Dear Reverend,

I realize that language is of course a barrier, but I hope that our message and understanding is the same.

I would like to wish you all the very best of luck with your presentation this coming Sunday, on behalf of us all here at 123PPT.com, and if there is anything I can do to be of help Phillipe, please do not hesitate to contact me either throught this thread, or directly using my email address.

Dear Reverend,

if I understand you correctly do you mean how to connect your projector to your pc or notebook?
