How To Use Podcasting:
Podcasting is an exciting method of audio/media delivery over the internet that allows people from all over Portland (and the world) to listen to our Sunday morning messages from anywhere.
By subscribing to our podcast, you are able to download each week's message to your computer automatically which you can then listen to from your computer or transfer to your iPod/MP3 Player or burn on a CD and take the message with you in the car, to the gym, or wherever your busy life finds you.
It's easy to set-up a podcast.
Note: Podcasting is a wonderful resource that works best with broadband/high-speed connectivity to the internet. Dial-up users will have longer download times because of the slower transfer speeds.
