Can you think of the any practical and realistic uses for the iPad in a ministry context? I have a few right off the top of my head…

• Musicians Sheet Music (and words pushed if needed…)
• You Version Notes & Biblical Text (preach right from the pad)
• Get rid of prayer books and hymnals… place iPads and WiFi in the pew – into the home…
• Translate the Bible in real time – have a concordance (or 10 of them even) right @ your disposal…
• Write an app and control the sound board, cameras, lighting…
• Give them to the Welcome teams – have interactive maps,
• Child Check in stations – real time wifi collection to a db application – During emergencies they could be used for attendance and security checks
• Google Wave Client for conferences?
• Push out premium sermon content – the added extras, additional biblical texts etc.
• No one that knows sign language on staff today? That’s okay – listen and type out the words for those who can “read” them in real time.
• Cheap information Kiosk’s

Can you add to these?
