Do You Have Computer Skills?

Are you comfortable on the computer? Looking for a way to get involved at Hannaford?

We need people to help weekly online and Sunday Worship preparation. If you like blogs or using PowerPoint, it should be easy.

SUNDAY WORSHIP PREPARATION
What this involves ... Prepare MediaShout "scripts" (a.k.a. files) for weekly worship. You would assemble moving backgrounds, still backgrounds, song lyrics, and other items from existing sources. Use the weekly order of worship for guidance. Must be prepared on Hannaford Worship Center computer. Photoshop and design skills a plus, but not necessary.

How this is done ... Take the existing MediaShout "script" from the previous week as a template. Add and arrange worship elements from this new week's order of worship. May involve adding a new song to existing song database, but most songs already exist. Select appropriate section headers for different worship elements.

ONLINE WEBSITE UPDATES
What this involves ... Add weekly information to website using any web browser (home computer okay). Consult the weekly bulletin and Hannaford office for source information. Basic writing and research skills needed. Basic understanding of online tools helpful (such as experience posting info on a blog). Photoshop and image manipulation skills a plus, but not necessary.

How this is done ... Highlight new items and events in bulletin and transfer the Home page and What's New page on the Hannaford website. Log into website using password. Type in text and select images from existing database. May involve finding and adding new images from Google Images from time to time. If you've ever maintained or published a blog, the process is similar.
