The PowerPoint presentation

The recent series of regional workshops was built round a PowerPoint presentation which was made up of four Scenes, each lasting about 10 minutes.

Section 1 – Vistas – the missionary context of covenant living
Section 2 – Vision – the biblical basis for covenant living
Section 3 – Variety – opportunities arising from covenant living (local examples)
Section 4 – Vocation – the challenge to the Churches from covenant living

The PowerPoint file is available on a free CD, together with the script designed to be read jointly by two presenters.
