Purpose
Illustrate prayer petitions during worship with digital pictures. For
example, a petition for "the community" could include images of actual
people and places in your community.
Summary
Help connect Sunday to Monday by bringing the outside in. Although we
already pray for "the world" each week, this can get a bit abstract.
Bringing in pictures from life out there (like heads of state involved
in peace talks, mayoral candidates, local businesses, etc.) can help
make God's work in the world more concrete.
Steps
1. Vision Team identifies a team member to sponsor the activity. The
sponsor then recruits a coordinator from outside the team and supports
her in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the activity.
2. Identify pictures to project during the prayers. (You might search
the Internet, scan items in from newspapers or magazines, or take your
own about town.)
3. Test out the projection equipment prior to worship.
Resources
- Computer with presentation software (something like Microsoft's
PowerPoint), digital projector, and overhead screen.
- Pictures to project during the prayers.
Tips
Take a long a digital camera as you complete the Workplace Visits
activity. Include petitions for congregants living out their
Monday-Saturday callings (with accompanying pictures) in your weekly
prayers.
