FREE Armed Forces Day Graphics and Worship Slides

First of all I want to say thank you to ALL who have served their country in the Armed Forces!

I appreciate my brothers and sisters who are fulfilling the call to duty, and having served personally in the Army Reserves, our soldiers are constantly on my mind. I am praying for all of you and your families. May God protect everyone of you and I hope you know that there are people who remember what you do! 11 BRAVO!

Second, this is short notice but I am hooking you up with two (2) FREE 16:9 graphics for this weekend if you need them. Armed Forces Day is Saturday, May 17th but we can still show our support for the troops on Sunday!

The download is ABSOLUTELY FREE but if you feel you should contribute something, please consider donating to a local or national organization who supports our troops.

This download includes:

Two different 16:9 worship slides.
Two layered PSD (Photoshop) files without the fonts.

Please let me know if you need help with any of the files. Thanks!

One Reason I Love Oklahoma: Tornadoes!

I just got through blogging about this on my website, but I got to see a tornado in the making today as a funnel cloud passed by my house! It was awesome and exciting - yet scary to know that it came so fast that we were never in a tornado warning. The tornado touched down a couple miles from here and I think it hit close to the church we used to attend many years ago. Well, I gotta get back to the news. Freakish as it sounds, many people in Oklahoma are mesmerized with watching clouds that can reduce big homes into tiny splinters in a fraction of a second.

Calling for Guest Writers

Church Communications Pro is looking for guest writers and contributors. I know there are many talented and gifted people serving in churches or ministries who have valuable advice and insights to share - and I would love for our readers to get more quality information that can help them in their ministries.

Here are some of the subjects and topics that I am specifically looking to develop:

Worship Media: Choosing the right projector, what is the best presentation software, how a church leverage technology with a small budget, etc.
Website : This stuff moves so fast I can’t keep up with it all! What Content Management Systems are the best or easiest to use, thoughts on design and navigation, what does a church really need on it’s website - are a few ideas I am looking to address.
Technology: Stuff a church must have or can forget about, gadgets or software that really simplifies our lives, computer specs we should consider before buying one, etc.
Creativity: Churches should be creative! What can we do to utilize the creative talents of the people in our church?

Of course you can look through our topic list and see what other items we have posted about over the years and contribute on anything that helps build The Church or that may cause us to rethink the way we do things.

If you are interested, please use the submission form and provide your contact information along with the topics you would like to write about. I’ll contact you via e-mail to discuss the next steps.

Please note: Church Communications Pro is not independently wealthy so we can’t pay for article submissions or contributions at this time, but we can plug you and give you the opportunity to hone your skills and help many people in the trenches. We also reserve the right to accept and reject posts depending on content, alignment with the CCP vision and values, and whether you are a Barry Manilow fan or not.
