Friday Giveaway #1: What Child is This?

Russell Martin — Fri, 26 Nov 2010 05:14:02 +0000

About a month ago I put together an instrumental cd called Hopes prayers and Lullabies. It is 45 minutes of original piano compositions. I did include an arrangement of one of my favorite Christmas hymns that worked well for a lullaby CD, “What Child is This?”

Now that Thanksgiving has ended and Christmas season has begun! I thought this would make a great Friday Giveaway. Just right click on the link below and save target as.

If you enjoyed this I hope you would consider buying the entire Hopes Prayers and Lullabies cd. All proceeds go to help us to adopt a child.

I give away a lot of free backgrounds, songs, ideas etc on this site. Here is a search to find them all. It’s easy though to find out about them when I post them either by subscribing to the RSS feed, subscribing to e-mail, following me on twitter or becoming a fan on facebook.

Free Background- Garden Angel Blur in 4 Colors

Russell Martin — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 13:00:20 +0000

One of the most downloaded backgrounds on this site has been the Garden Angel Blur that I made from a photo I had taken this Summer at one of my work camps. I thought maybe someone would like it in a color other than green… so here they are. Click on the image once to go to the gallery, and then again to view the full sized image. Then right click and save. You are free to use them for your worship services, announcements etc.. It would be cool if you would let me know how you used them.

Free Backgrounds

I have shared some free image resources that I have found or created before. Here are a few more sites I have found that have photos and backgrounds free for you to use. Of course it is always fun to create your own.

Creative MYK- I have mentioned this one before but they have added a ton of stuff since last time. They have not only background slides but Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop files, jpegs and more. Make sure and check out my waterfall slides.

Flickr Shared Worship Background Graphics- This flickr group is designed specifically for worship backgrounds. I have also started my on Flickr site of backgrounds.

Simply Youth Ministry Background Freebies- These backgrounds are some they use for youth talks, worship services etc.

Tim Schmoyer of Life in Student Ministry always has some great giveaways. Freebie Friday #95 has some sky background pics from me, and freebie #43 is a set of powerpoint backgrounds from Stevan Sheets.

What other sites do you know of that have great free worship backgrounds?

Free Song: Awaken Our Hearts

Russell Martin — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 04:31:09 +0000

This summer I was sitting down and I was thinking, “If I were going to write a prayer for the church of today to pray to God, what would we say. I was thinking it should be a song of revival but yet a song of confession. The words to this song just flowed out. It was probably the first time a song has come so quickly and completely.

So I wanted to share this song with you. Maybe you can use it in your worship services. Maybe you can use it in your own personal time. All I ask is two things. 1. Don’t record, take credit for it and keep all the money.. and 2. Let me know how it works in your service. If you are interested in the Chord Sheet contact me and I will send it to you.

This was recorded at our church a few weeks ago. It’s by no means a professional recording but you can hear the words and music clearly. Please enjoy!

Free Stuff: Angel Background

Russell Martin — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 20:52:00 +0000

OK.. so everything is free on this site. That’s kind of the whole idea but I wanted to be able to have a place to share resources that come my way or that I create. The first one is fairly simple. It is a background I made using a picture taken at College UM ARMY of an angel statue.

Right click the link and save as.

If you have resources you would like to share please email them to me. If I post them I will give you a link back to your site and a huge thanks. Thanks.
