One of my Christmas presents this year is a high tech device with a microphone attachment. I am very pleased with the quality of the recording I can get. The benefit of this will be that sermons will now be posted as MP3s available to play on your computer or portable music player.
Each week I’ll post a link to download each file directly or the same files will be available via the syndication feed. Posting this audio online is a first for Christian Heights. I’m pleased that my new gadget works better than I expected.
