Fresh Out of the Box, Volume 3: Digital Worship Experiences for Advent and Christmas

The projection screen is no longer found only in seeker-sensitive churches. Tens of thousands of congregations across the theological spectrum--at least 17 perscent according to a Hartford Seminary survey in 2001, and over 40 percent according to Abingdon research surveys--are designing multisensory worship that takes advantage of digital technologies. These worship teams are projecting media (image, sound, lyrics, light, and beat) that connect the people of God with the spectacle of praise and celebration.

The Fresh Out of the Box Series offers an expanding reference library of content for worship teams to adapt and customize. Volumes 3 and 4 (#0687037123 Experiences for Lent & Easter) and DVD in the series offer ten digial experiences for worship during the Advent and Christmas, or Lent and Easter, seasons.
