We use PowerPoint in our worship services. In the last year or two, we have started using pictures as the background instead of just a plain color. Typically, the background is related somehow to the theme of the service and helps set the mood... Because our baptism font is not elevated, we zoom in on the baptism with our video camera and project it on our screens so that everyone has a good view... We also use video clips and have begun to make our own videos.
