If you are a visiting speaker, firstly thank you for agreeing
to share your experience of faith with us. We appreciate the effort and time it
takes to prepare what you are going to say to us.
The following are some notes which may help you in your preparation. If you have
any questions while preparing your talk, the worship leader is usually the best person
to talk to.
|
|
The worship leader chooses the music but if you request a particular
song we will endeavour to do it. The worship leader will advise you if
it is not possible (e.g. because the song is unknown to the congregation
or because we don't have a proficient team that day to carry it off).
|
Normally the speaker does his or her own reading and talk.
Most people in the congregation probably use
the New International Version of the Bible, but we do not have an
"official" version, so feel free to use
whatever version you prefer.
If you wish to make use of powerpoint in your talk, you can either:
- bring along your own laptop, and we can project for you, or
- bring a CD with your powerpoint slides and we will load onto
the song projection laptop. Please check with us before you do
this as we are using a much older version of powerpoint on the
church laptop (Powerpoint 95 would you believe!), and we may need
to ensure compatability in advance.
John, Robb or Pam should be able to advise you.

Normally the speaker will also lead communion.
The deacon on duty that day will say a prayer giving thanks for both the
bread and wine before the elements are served.
|
|
You may also be asked to finish the service with a benediction. Confirm
with the worship leader at the time.
