With the permission of the preachers we are now recording our Sunday morning 10 o’clock sermons and publishing them on the internet, becoming available, typically, by about 12:30 Sunday lunchtime. This means that it is now possible, while a sermon is still fresh in people’s minds, to go home and listen again to any bits we might have missed on the original hearing. Alternatively to transfer onto a portable player for listening again on the train, while walking the dog, or whatever.
Format 
Recordings consist of MP3 files of size 2–5 Mbytes. Download times could be an issue for some but we have made provision for minimising, if not completely hiding, the impact of these downloads.
Access
The main church website contains two links identified by the little
icon—one for regular (mainly Sunday morning 10:00) services; the other
for more special events, like baptisms, where there would be a higher proportion of visitors.
Each link gives access to the relevant list of available sermon recordings.
Recordings can be received either by standard internet browsers or, to get downloads to happen automatically in the background without you necessarily noticing it, by dedicated (free!) ‘podcast’ software.
Preachers’ names
Information about preachers’ names (also sermon-durations) is included with the recordings but, so far, I have found only one system capable of displaying this information—iTunes—which displays it both on your computer screen and on your iPod as well.
