Just a few of the many emails we receive:
Thank you so much for Church Power Point! It has made my job SOO much easier! Our church has two services -- a "traditional" and a "contemporary." We rely on Power Point for the contemporary service, and your site has been such a wonderful resource. I am so grateful for your ministry. --

Since we discovered your website our presentations on Sundays at Orpington Methodist Church are so much better and we have had many compliments on the improved style and variety, so we are very grateful for everything that you provide. Thank you so much. Jan
-------------------------
I just want to thank you so much for the wonderful service you provide by means of the images. I prepare most of the presentations for our church, a catholic church outside Sydney, Australia. So often I get comments such as 'wonderful images', so thanks. The Gallery is wonderful and I haven't fully explored it yet.
Have a very happy and holy Christmas, and may you be blessed in the New Year with many graces from our God.
God bless,

Think About It is just what I needed to get a fresh outlook on the text. It's even more than that. It brings into focus what our ministry should be all about. Thanks. Rev. William Smith California
---------------------------
When I am looking for an image for a new program or special announcement, I can always find it on Gallery. It is the best buy on the internet for the worship needs of a church. I'm so grateful for all you do. I am not only the pastor, I also handle all the powerpoint for our service.
Rev. John Fisher

I just want to thank you so much for your power point helps. I am a fledgling media person and your web site makes my task so much easier. Your artwork make our church's chapel service look so much nicer and more professional. I thank God for all that you do.

I just wanted to express my appreciation for the PowerPoint slides you provide. It's really tough for a church that operates on a very tight budget - like the one I attend - to be able to provide much more that just generic backgrounds. Thank you and may God bless your ministry.

I just wanted to thank you for your ministry in this effort. We are a small church and we are focusing on the needs of the homeless in N Fort Myers. These PowerPoint masters will help in that, and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate them. They are wonderful! God Bless You!

Harry Reid was castigated by the Republican Party recently, actually calling for his resignation, for having referred to candidate Barack Obama in private as a "light-skinned" black with no "Negro dialect. "What nonsense, I thought. It was Reid’s job to consider the potential success of the Democratic candidates. Harry Reid was certainly aware that discrimination is still alive and well in the United States and needed to face it. Certainly, every black person knows this. A dark, ebony skinned man with black language would never have a chance to be elected. I’m sure her looks and glib ability ensured Sarah Pahlin’s selection as a vice President candidate over any aged, plain, more experienced woman!
This reality is nothing for which to be proud, is it? Racism was such an integral part of my life. As a young child, I never questioned the discrimination. Black people ate in different restaurants; drank out of different water fountains; lived in separate areas……..
Then, I read a book.
When I was a teen, I read a book that never left me. It was a haunting story of the Chinese conquering the United States and enslaving the people, “White Lotus” by John Hersey. I think the book should be required reading in high school for it was life altering for me. It caused me to always ask the question, "How would I feel?"
- To explain the impact of the story on my life and my views on discrimination, I offer this review of the book by M. Gerrish who used a quote from "A Time To Kill," the movie based on a John Grisham novel. These are the last lines in the defense summation: "...Can you see her? Her raped, beaten, broken body soaked in their urine, soaked in their semen, soaked in her blood, left to die. Can you see her? I want you to picture that little girl. Now imagine she's white."
- And as I read the story about a white girl being treated as the whites in the U.S. have treated the blacks, I learned the reality of racism and I wondered. I wondered if I were black how my life would change…..how being a black person would change my life…..a person forced by society to feel inferior. I wonder today!
Watch this astonishing video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqSFqnUFOns
Anderson Cooper conducted an experiment for CNN in which both black and white people, equally qualified, interviewed for the same jobs. The chances of the black person with the same credentials as the white person obtaining the job was practically nil. A white felon, it was shown was typically hired over a black, well groomed, articulate, educated, qualified black man!
Why am I bringing this up on Transfiguration Sunday? Because I looked up the definition of transfiguration:
trans·fig·u·ra·tion (tr?ns-f?g?y?-r??sh?n)
NOUN: a. A marked change in form or appearance; a metamorphosis.
b. A change that glorifies or exalts.
Transfiguration is all about change, isn’t it?
And I thought about those children in that experiment…..I thought about that video the high school girl filmed on racism…..I wondered:
Why should white be a better color than black, brown or yellow or red? Why did the little black children in that video think white was good and black was bad? Why do employees prefer a white skinned criminal over a qualified black? Pretty over plain? Thin over heavy? Tall over short? Why? Why? Who defines good, better, best?
What have we done to those black little children? Implanted a desire to change in their minds…..change to white…..a change that would “glorify or exalt?” Isn’t that what has happened to those black children? What have white people done?
The Southern Poverty Law Center counted 926 active hate groups in the United States in 2008. Only organizations and their chapters known to be active during 2008 were included. All hate groups have beliefs or practices that attack or malign an entire class of people, typically for their immutable characteristics. The list was compiled using hate group publications and websites, citizen and law enforcement reports, field sources and news reports.
But hate toward discriminated groups is not a United States phenomena. Racism exists around the world. These are just a few of the videos I found:

We all come from the same source and all have a commonality. Doesn't humanity have a common thread which we should promote in prayer and worship? So why is discrimination so prevalent? Has the Christian church encouraged an exclusivity that has promoted a superiority of one group over another? How often have you preached about the love we should demonstrate toward those minorities in your community that are experiencing discrimination?
Why don’t you use this day…..the day of transfiguration….a day of love, St. Valentine’s Day….to help change the disgraceful attitude minorities? We should celebrate not only the common thread which binds us together but also those differences that have been used to divide us. Our togetherness and apartness is part of our common journey, isn't it?
Face all those silent hates right there in your sanctuary. Talk about it. Teach what is right. Make a difference.
Think About It.
