Unto Us A Child Is Born
I'm thining of preaching on Isaiah 9 in our Christmas Carol service and wondering if we should try to play this video from Handel's Messiah with what seems to be called Kinetic Typography, which I think means you see the text on the screen in an interesting way fitting in with the music!

You've read my mind. I'm going to preach on Isaiah 9 next week and play 'unto us' at some point.
I'm also going to preach on Psalm 72 and think I'll use the Hallelujah chorus (the kingdom of this world is become the kingdom of our God and of His Christ).
Do you think your PA people are up to it?
I am more concerned about whether we can download it and so show it without internet access in church - which I think is intermitent to non-existent?
Kinetic Typography (letters), not Typology (Bible repeated motifs). :-)
If you want to show it where there's no Internet, you could download a copy using a Firefox addon such as the Easy YouTube Video Downloader:

(If you aren't using Firefox, you should be. :-)
The original YouTube page for the video is here:

The downloaded file should play in Windows Media Player (Windows), or QuickTime (Mac). Linux might be a bit trickier, due to patent problems with various video formats, but I don't think you use that.

Ah, Gerv. Thank you. I wish I could say that "Typology" was a deliberate witty thingimygig, but unfortunately just a lapse of concentration!
