Included in each
Art to Heart™
worship resource...
1) A
professional-quality PowerPoint presentation with a title screen,
unobtrusive fades between slides, and a concluding black screen for a smooth
transition to the next part of your service. PowerPoint files are
compatible with PowerPoint 97, PowerPoint 2000, and
PowerPoint 2002(XP). To reduce download times, all files are
compressed in self-extracting .zip files.
2) Worship Leader's narration text. A text
file, compatible with Microsoft Word 97 and all later versions of MS Word, contains the
text* to be read by a worship leader while the
PowerPoint presentation is run. The file is formatted in 14-point type
with expanded line spacing, so it's easy to read while
speaking. Markers are included in the text to indicate the points at which
the presentation is to be advanced. Help is provided with the
pronunciation of foreign words and difficult artists' names.
3) High-resolution graphics. Unlike the
art graphics files generally found on this and other web sites, the artworks in
the PowerPoint presentation are at a high resolution suitable for projection
onto a large screen. The rare instances where high resolution is not
possible will be noted in the resource description. Copyright
issues are more complex than you might imagine, but in every case we use images
that are either in the public domain (to the best of our knowledge), or for which we have
received permission from the copyright-holder (usually after we pay a royalty)
for use in our worship resources.
4)
Permission. The downloaded files are copyrighted by Art to Heart Ministries.
When you purchase an Art to Heart™
worship resource, we grant you permission to use the files as many times as you
wish in Christian worship services or other meetings that honor God.
We reserve the right to withhold permission for any use that does not honor God.
We also reserve the rights for filming or taping or otherwise copying the
resources, for the use of the files by any person or organization other than the
one which makes the initial purchase, or any other duplication or publication of
the resources.
5) Our Guarantee: If you purchase an Art to
Heart worship resource and discover that it will not meet your needs for any
reason, let us know. If we can't fix the problem to your satisfaction and
you will assure us that you have not used and will not use the resource, we will
happily refund the purchase price.
* Note: In some cases, the Art to
Heart™ resource is a means of
introducing the specific part of the service, but does not contain a text for
the entire segment of the service. For instance, a resource under the
"Communions" heading will set the scene for a communion service in a uniquely
engaging way, but the celebration of the communion itself is left to the worship
leader to tailor to the traditions and expectations of the congregation.
In most cases, though, such as benedictions, calls to worship, and invocations,
homilies, etc., the Art to Heart resource contains text for the entire element.
Prayers of petition set the mood for a prayer, and begin with a general prayer
of petition, but leave room for the worship leader to insert specific petitions
relevant to the congregation.
