Use by Churches
At present, four churches include Photo Prayers in their emailed newsletters, which go to over 800 people. Another church, Old Strathcona Vineyard Christian Fellowship in Edmonton, Alberta, plans to project the digital images onto a screen during their worship services and intermissions.
Westminster Presbyterian Church in Wilmington. Delaware has used Photo Prayers for years in its weekly emailed newsletter (detail at right) and continues to use them. Some people open the church's email just to see the photo and the prayer, which Westminster puts at the bottom so people will scroll through the email before finding the photo and prayer at the end.
Urban Bridge Church in Edmonton, Alberta started using Photo Prayers in its emailed newsletter In July, 2009.
West Grove United Methodist Church in Pennsylvania began using Photo Prayers in their email newsletters in 2010.
First & Central Presbyterian Church in Wilmington, Delaware included Photo Prayer 2011_39 in its weekly email newsletter. Pastor Doug Gerdts said, "Danny Schweers, the person who designed and built our website, sends out a weekly "photo prayer" to which you can subscribe. He's a talented photographer and frequently writes about events and places close to home. I especially liked this photograph and the prayer that accompanied it. My favorite line? 'hoping to find welcome in the land just right.' May it be so!"
Please contact me if your church would like to use these Photo Prayers in its emailed newsletters or in some other medium. There is no charge to use them.
Photo Prayers are a work of love, and what good is love if it is not shared? Therefore I only ask that the Photo Prayers be credited when they are used: "Copyright Danny N. Schweers, www.PhotoPrayer.com."
In e-newsletters, the photo should be presented just above the prayer, so they appear as a single unit. Any tagline should appear below, separated by a space and, ideally, in a smaller italic type. Note the link in the tagline in the sample above, taken from the Urban Bridge Church's e-newsletter.
All images and prayers are copyright Danny N. Schweers, 2002-2011 except as noted.
