VIDSRVCE

The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) may develop a subscription video service in which one or more videotapes (up to 30 minutes in length) presenting stories of Presbyterians and other people of faith would be distributed on a monthly basis to congregations. A subscription to the video service would cost each subscribing congregation approximately $40 per year. In general, would you personally recommend that your congregation subscribe to such a video service?
