My pastor visited me yesterday and we discussed about how we could use technology, especially Web 2.0, to enhance our current church activities. Here are some of the suggestions (which means none of this is currently being practiced at our local community of faith).
- Make PowerPoint presentations of Sunday sermons online through Google Docs or Slideshare
- Upload Sunday sermons as podcasts (initially to use Box.net)
- Setup a Google Site to deliver these presentations and podcasts
- Record guitar lessons with the youth group and broadcast it through YouTube, embedding it at the church's Google Site
- Aggregate relevant information for practical and spiritual living through the use of feed subscription
- Encourage the congregation to visit the church site and participate by posting comments of the delivered sermon and presentation
- Address comments posted during the week on the following Sunday sermon to encourage continuous participation
- Setup a physical cyber cafe in the church premise
- Conduct Internet or ICT classes for the surrounding community
- Encourage the youth group to tell their friends about the activities of the church through the relevant information made available at the church site
