Stake Conference

This weekend I had stake conference and probably because I am in this media class this semester, but I was surprised by how much media was used! At the Saturday evening session they played a clip about how to work more efficiently as councils from the LDS church website. It was super effective because instead of listening to someone talk at us about the council system, we got to see it in action.  In addition to this video clip, there were several musical numbers spread between the different sessions which I loved because, as one elder remarked on my mission, 

"Music creates a Celestial atmosphere."

And, for those of us who had seats in the overflow/gym area, there were screens lowered with a projection of the stand playing so we could see what was going on in front. This would have been so helpful as a kid to stay engaged in stake conference, but what cool that it is used now! I love church media and how effectively it can be used in conferences.I am grateful for the progressive ways in which media is used to enhance church conferences, it is a reminder that all things can be used to direct us back to Christ.
