Distant Echos
I have decided to do a simple power-point display reflecting the distant echos N.T. Wright discusses in his book,"Simply Christian". Preparing for Sunday worship I start by choosing the songs, practicing, and then creating a PP display which I email.
I usally keep it simple choosing only one picture for an entire song, however I have on occation used two.
The photos are shots I took on a hike at Premier Lake British Columbia, about one half drive from where I live.
For the echo of justice I've choosen Soverign Lord. This is a song I've been learning, but have not have the opportunity to use it yet. God is Lord and we are to bear His image and represent Him as being His stewards on earth.
All We Need protrays the echo of hidden spiritualiy. The repetative line "be my all consuming fire" speaks of the moving of the Holy Spirit in our lives. This is the only song I have used in a worhsip set, once, however I changed to photo to be one of my own.
For the echo of relationships I've choosen If We Are The Body. To me the lyrics are so powerful and even though it may not be a song to include in a worship set, I've taken the opportunity to learn it. I've used the photo of a tree to protray the church as "we are the branches".
Creation Calls speaks of beauty in the world. The hardest part is choosing only two photos for this one. Dan often spoke of the creation story. We can speak of the redemption story
