Now, rather than featuring videos as a only-once-in-awhile event, church loops can be used basically all the time. Here&#8217;s your quick-start guide to using church loops throughout the service.\u00a0<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><em>Church loops are just as easy to use, if not easier than still backgrounds. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>First off, keep in mind that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithclipart.com\/category\/christian-video.html\" target=\"_blank\">church videos<\/a> aren&#8217;t a whole lot different than other types of projected media that you may use. They may take a bit longer to download, but that&#8217;s about it. For example, using a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithclipart.com\/category\/worship-video.html\" target=\"_blank\">worship video background<\/a> for your worship lyrics requires only as much setup as a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithclipart.com\/category\/christian-backgrounds.html\" target=\"_blank\">worship still background<\/a> would take. With other types of church loops, there is even less setup and prep time, since the text is already provided for you.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithclipart.com\/category\/christian-video-loops.html\" target=\"_blank\">Christian Video Loops have text already in place. <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithclipart.com\/category\/church-countdown-timers.html\" target=\"_blank\">Church Countdown Timers<\/a> require no additional editing or setup. Just plug &#8217;em in, and count &#8217;em down.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithclipart.com\/category\/holiday-video-loops.html\" target=\"_blank\">Holiday Video Loops<\/a> are ready to go, too.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithclipart.com\/category\/seasonal-video-loops.html\" target=\"_blank\">Seasonal Video Loops<\/a> use predesigned logos and text to save you the trouble.<\/li>\n<li>And, of course, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithclipart.com\/category\/sermon-video.html\" target=\"_blank\">Sermon Videos<\/a> are designed to plug-and-play. No editing needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Obviously, we have nothing against still backgrounds. After all, we annually produce hundreds of stunning <a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithclipart.com\/category\/christian-backgrounds.html\" target=\"_blank\">still backgrounds<\/a>. They have a place, but they should be balanced out by a proportionate use of church video loops. Church loops add that extra zing&#8211;a bit of interest, pizzazz, motion, and modern flair to keep people interested and engaged.<\/p>\n<p>Here is how you can use church loops for maximum effectiveness all throughout a church service.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Church Loops Before the Service<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><em>Use church loops to welcome people into the service.<br \/>\n<\/em> This is easy.
