Audio-Visual presentations
Although Over Head Projections (OHPs) and suchlike are sometimes seen as the thin edge of the wedge by traditionalists, and although some people like the way in which having a prayerbook gives you an idea about what is coming next - nevertheless, many people are more used to seeing a powerpoint presentation than to finding their way through a prayerbook.
Other advantages are that people lift up their eyes and their faces, and that you can do away with those dog-eared leaflets which are slightly out of date and inevitably have at least one typo!
Incidentally, OHPs are very old-hat these days as people use data projectors connected to laptops to produce, quite quickly, reasonably polished presentations.
One Church which has a very good and sophisticated system is St John's Hensingham: here are a .ppt file describing what they wanted, and a .pdf file with their Faculty application.

There is some free software - www.zionworx.org - which they use at St John's. Churches would need to have a CCCL Licence if to be used at church meetings. St John's have already helped a church at Keswick set it up. Advice can be provided by billbrooks@aol.com
