Sunday Sermons

In addition to being in Church on a Sunday morning, you can now hear recent sermons on line at:

www.shanklinurcmedia.org.uk.

If you missed a service or were out leading a Junior Church Group or would just like to hear the Sunday Sermon for the first time or even again, then this is an ideal (and very popular) way of keeping in touch.

A huge thank you to Jeremy Fry for all his continuing efforts and to Gary Warner who has set the website up.

We trust that God will use this wonderful resource to help people, near and far, to grow in their faith.

Internet Audio

Back in July 2006 I received an e-mail stating that the church had been offered some web space and asking me to look into the possibility of putting the sermons on the internet.  By the beginning of September we had sorted out the technicalities for getting decent audio recordings and moved on to sorting out the web pages to go with it, this was completed and the site went live in the middle of February 2007.  The original vision saw this resource as being another way that people could catch up if they missed a week or would like to listen to a particular sermon again.  It was thought that this would be something that only the regulars to SURC would be likely to use, but we were wrong!

Now as I write this (Feb 08) it is almost exactly one year to the day since it was first announced and we have had 2137 sermons downloaded; this works out at an average of 41.1 per week.  These have not only been downloaded all over the UK but we also have listeners in:-

Perth (Australia), Mississauga (Canada), Modena (Italy), Dallas (Texas), Sunnyvale (California), East Boston (Massachusetts), Corunna and Owosso (Michigan), Voorhees and Hillsdale (New Jersey), Pueblo Nuevo (Panama) and many more.

The graph below shows the number of downloads each month since February 2007.  Please note that Feb 08 figures are only up to the 17th, not the complete month.

I would like to ask some questions about what you think of the site and where you see it going:

Q1.  What do you like about the media site?

Q2.  What do you dislike about the media site?

Q3.  Would you like to see this resource expanded and if so how?

Please answer the questions either on a bit of paper and hand it to me or send an e-mail to surcmedia@frywinford.myzen.co.uk, you don’t have to give anything personally identifiable unless you want to.  Please don’t leave it and assume that someone else will say what you think.
