Slide Guidelines

  • Slide requests should be sent no later than midnight on Sunday.  Any request made after this time cannot be guaranteed to be ready by Wednesday.
  • Pictures, video clips, etc. can be sent as attachments to your email.  Please include any special instructions.  Please include your phone number in case we have any questions.
  • Pictures should be in img or jpg (jpeg) format if possible; PDF will work if necessary.  If a picture can’t be sent in one of these formats and it is something you found online, please send the URL (the http address at the top of the page) with an explanation of what you want to use.
  • Movie clips from YouTube can be sent by copying and pasting the entire URL into the body of your email.  If you do not want the entire clip to run, please indicate beginning and ending points (ex. “Please start clip at 1:21 and stop clip at 2:00”).
  • Text slides (talking points, quotes and sayings, Bible verses, etc.) that are not cut and pasted from an online source should be sent as a Word document (or whatever text editor you use).  If you want a Bible verse, please include which translation you are using or prefer (NRSV, The Message, KJV, CEB, etc.).
  • Please do not send PowerPoint slides or files without talking to Carol or Keyla.  These take additional time to prepare.
  • Please include a script or outline of your talk indicating where the slides should appear.
  • If you want to add anything to the slides that is not covered here, sending it earlier is key (a week or so).  We do not promise it will make it to the presentation but we will try our best to make it work; if not we will let you know ahead of time.
  • Optional:  If you are giving a lesson and don’t have any slides, we could work on a couple of slides to go with your presentation if you send us your talk or outline early (just something to enhance your lesson for the visual learners).
  • Questions can be emailed to the above email address, or call/text Carol at 361-876-5027, or Keyla at 956-998-6001.
