I’m sure you’ve heard of the incredible resources that Lifechurch makes available for absolutely free. Well, I just learned that in addition to their kids and student curriculum, they also have a good deal of worship loops for download. You know they will be quality, because Lifechurch is quality. Enjoy!

Those of us in CM are really good at picking great worship DVD’s for our ministries. Sometimes, it’s just impossible to get a live person or band to lead in worship. But if you do have that person, you have a great opportunity to lead kids in deep worship. Mr. Dan has that passion and wants to equip others to lead creative worship for kids. Right now he only has 4 videos up on his You Tube Channel, but I hope he’ll do more. Here’s a sample:
Footage Firm is giving away 10 of their looping worship backgrounds. They are great quality loops. You can download them in both standard and high definition. Get the downloads here.
If you have not put your name in the hat for the Integrity Shout Praises Promises DVD pack, do it soon! Winners will be announced Thursday!
Also, coming this week…a new series called Fire ‘Em Up. This will be a series of devotionals from Scripture that you can use with your volunteers and staff. I have six of them lined up, but we’ll see where the Spirit takes them!
Apparently Free CM Stuff is not an original idea!
A youth pastor friend of mine, cued me in to Pastor2Youth. They have a ton of games, links, media, and object lessons that we can steal and use in CM.
Now humble yourself and admit it, it is possible to learn from youth pastors!
Contest ends soon: You have until this afternoon to get your name in the hat for the Sovereign Grace CD’s. Hurry!
Christian Video Magazine is a free online magazine geared toward providing Christian viewpoints on the use of video and media in ministry settings. Here’s a quote from their site on what they do:
The purpose of Christian Video Magazine is simple. We want to provide our readers with articles that cover everything about using videos in the church, on their websites, and for ministry. How do you use them? How do you stream them? How do you create them? How do you project them? Where can you find them? Who is creating them? How will they impact mobile computing? What about background loops? And how can we make the best use of all of the fantastic Christian music videos?
You can either receive their magazine in a truncated email format or look at all of their articles in PDF or HTML format online. If you utilize videos in your ministry or want to keep up with relevant topics in the media industry, this is a good resource to check out.
I recommend a good deal of open source software on this site. Open source programs offer a viable alternative to expensive programs. What you miss are some user-friendly features and support, however most problems are easily solved by glancing through extensive forums.
One I came across recently is Open LP. If you can’t afford Media Shout, Song Show Plus, or Pro Presenter, then you may want to consider this. You can download it here.
Hey, here are some free looping backgrounds just in time for your after Christmas weekend service…or for next year! These are courtesy of the folks at Soul Refinery.
