Audio Archive: Content from the Sanctuary (DRAFT UPDATE PAGE)

Picture
Welcome to the audio archive for the Community Church of Chapel Hill Unitarian Universalist (C3HUU). Whether you are unable to attend services or would simply like to listen to a sermon again, you're on the right page! 
C3HUU Communications Links + References on MindMup
Listening to Audio
Here's how to access the two main types of audio content:
  • Audio recordings of sermons from weekly services at our church are accessible on the Internet, by using links on this page. To play the files, you must have a media player program installed on your computer. Several of the most recent sermon recordings are linked directly from this page; see Recent Sermons below. To browse larger collections of sermon audio files, access one of the audio repositories that are linked under Sermon Audio Repositories. 
  • Audio recordings of entire services are available to members on DVD by special request . Note: Our church is not able to provide access to copyrighted content on the Internet. 
[Mark: What about audio for special events, such as the Orange County Justice United Presentation?]
Sermon Audio Repositories
The Soundroom team is in the process of evaluating several free media repositories on the Internet. You can view sermon audio directly at the following sites:
  • Sermon audio from 2014 services is being migrated to the C3HUU YouTube Channel
    [Mark: How is this youtube link different from the youtube link that is below the Recent Sermons section?]
  • Sermon audio from a few 2014 services is stored on the C3HUU Soundcloud Channel
  • Sermon audio prior to June 2014 is available from the C3H Wikispace Sermon Audio page
Who Makes the Recordings
Volunteers on our church's Soundroom team record audio as part of managing the sound for weekly services. They also produce the audio files and upload them to the Internet. If you would like to assist with producing files for the audio archive or any other aspect of managing sound in our church, please contact the Soundroom team.
