Our church, Ivanrest CRC in Grandville, MI, did a "Wise Up" series on Proverbs in January. Pastor Tony Meyer sent out a daily devotional each day via e-mail to those who signed up. We were challenged as a church to read through Proverbs together and our weekly messages were based on a section of Proverbs. Our family looked forward to the daily messages and used them for our dinner-time each day. I also subscribe to The Today via e-mail and pass my Blackberry around to whichever family member volunteers to read devotions at dinner-time.
Ivanrest CRC in Grandville, MI has had a loop system installed for a few years. We rarely hear much about it unless it's not working ... then we find out all the members who have been quietly relying on it. We have one member who has a profound hearing loss and always sat near the front to be able to read the lips of the pastor. She came to me with tears in her eyes following the first service she was able to use the loop and told me she heard every word of the sermon. Now she can sit anywhere she wants and can take notes without missing a word.
