Re: Cell Phone Video for your Church
I like the sign for the screen that says,
"Yes, God wants to talk to you today.
No, He will not be calling you on your cell phone to do it.
Please turn all cell phones off during the service"

We had a guy answer his phone and walk down the middle aisle talking in the stage whisper that EVERYONE can hear. 
Crazy people!

So I gave up. It's a war I'll never win.  |
What is wrong with people? I have a love/hate relationship with cellphones. I kind of miss the days when I could actually be UNAVAILABLE at quite a few times during the day.

Re: Cell Phone Video for your Church
I DO have a confession: I've been guilty of texting friends (who were in church with me at the time) and asking them if they remembered to turn off their phones.  
I know. That's awful. But it's REALLY funny.

Also, I do not usually answer my cell phone if I am driving. I say usually because I will not answer it on a freeway or express way or if I am driving in an unfamiliar area. I do some times answer if I am driving in a familiar neighborhood at a slow speed. I do not try to text while driving.

Re: Cell Phone Video for your Church
Sign outside the Presbyterian Church on Front Street in Hamilton, Ohio.
Honk if you love Jesus.
Text while driving if you want to meet Him.

Re: Cell Phone Video for your Church
Next time you see someone looking at his cell phone in church,
do not be too quick to judge him (or her).
He may not be playing games on the phone.
He may not be flirting with the young lady a few rows away.
He may not be organizing plans for after church activity.
He may be using the Bible on his phone to follow along with the sermon.
