I did similar polls back in the spring. We have some new people, so I thought we'd do them again.

No more offering plates/buckets/bags passed. Offering box is in the back of the meeting area. (I have always found that terminology "lift the offering" to be somewhat humorous, due to the term "lift a wallet". )
No song leader. The have a "Music Supervisor" (or somesuch title) that organizes different "worship teams" to lead the singing.

Not sure what "lift" a weekly offering means, but we have a bucket for giving and each week is designated for something different, like building fund, local benevolence, etc.

Each week there is a family dedicated to hosting visitors for a meal and fellowship after morning service, and those families are planned out on the calendar each month. Often held at the house we worship in (we still meet in a basement of their house), which turns into a big fellowship meal for most or all of the families that gather.

But meeting at the family's home means there isn't stuff like dedicated handicapped parking "spots". You park wherever you can! The house isn't very handicapped accessible anyway... But we're working on a public meeting house to hold Sunday services in.

I assume those who checked "Overhead projector or screen" did so because of the screen. Probably someone somewhere still uses a 50 year old overhead projector with transparencies, but I haven't run across them for quite a while.

I didn't check that one the first time through, then thought perhaps the meaning was "a projector mounted over head". So I went back & checked it off as well. Speaking of technology, our sound people used to play videos off of a DVD player. Much more reliable than running them off of a computer, at least at our congregation. (Often they try to get them going, and either the projector is not connected to the computer, or the computer has a mind of its own.

At our church we use the overhead with transparencies much more often pulling out a computer projector. But we use the latest Mennonite Hymnal, Voices Together, for most singing.
