I wanted to start with a quick shoutout to this need to be detail-oriented - with the right mindset, of course - because it’s critical to a well-lived Christian life. Tending to the tiny details of a service is a small-yet-powerful way that we can show God we are invested in the work that He has called us to. We’re called to pay attention to the details not because we care about the performance but because we care about the Creator. This isn’t because the mistakes are going to ruin someone’s walk with the Lord or because it’s up to us to make sure they encounter God each Sunday morning. We are called to pour our best into our service to God. Everyone is aware of that classic verse from Colossians 3, “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.” The Holy Spirit can take each wrong note and botched reference and supernaturally weave it into a powerful, Spirit-led encounter between the Lord and His people.Įven so, it doesn’t remove the responsibility that we collectively share to bring our utmost effort to bear on our work in the Kingdom. After all, we’re all there for more than just a production.
If a preacher gets a reference wrong or the gain is too high on the soundboard, it isn’t going to completely ruin the church experience.
If the volume on the bassist’s amp is too high or a major detail is missing in the announcements, it can throw the congregation off. However, each of these larger elements is made up of countless little factors that collectively add up to the overall experience.
Obvious big-ticket items like the sermon, sermon illustrations, sermon series graphics, special presentations, and praise and worship often hog the spotlight. When you’re ready to go to the next level, check out CMG’s large collection of motion backgrounds.There are countless elements that go into a quality worship service. To get started, use the button below to down your 99 FREE still worship backgrounds. Some churches choose to use multiple backgrounds per song, such as for the chorus, to emphasize certain moments.
If you would like to use more than one background for a presentation, simply drag and drop a new background onto the slides where you’d like to see the change. Therefore, you do not need to place a background on every slide of the presentation–only the first. Once a background is established on the first slide, it will continue to show behind each lyric slide you click until it is changed. When assigning a background to a song, it’s best practice to place a background on the first slide. To assign a still or motion background to a slide, simply drag and drop a background of your choice from the Video/Image Bin, or from Finder (Mac) and File Explorer (PC) to an individual slide. This is particularly useful for establishing your chosen backgrounds ahead of time.
