Every church in Winnebago Presbytery has a CVLI license which allows congregations to use and show videos. Whether it’s for a youth lock-in, a Sunday school class, an adult education hour or a movie clip during a sermon, the CVLI license gives permission to use copyrighted material.

CVLI is now providing a new service to its members. Each congregation should have received a letter with the following information:

As I am sure you are aware, CVLI has been involved in an on-line illustration and Movie Scene download service called ScreenVue. ScreenVue has committed to a large expansion of its service and, effective immediately, CVLI is proud to give a complimentary standard membership to every CVLI Member Licensee.

The standard membership provides free access to over 1,200 illustration ideas on ScreenVue.com from major movies that you rent or purchase. Each scene idea includes a movie summary, scene summary, themes, scripture references, plus valuable insights and suggestion for using a scene effectively.

It’s a GREAT research tool, designed to work hand-in-hand with your CVLI License, helping you find that perfect movie illustration to enhance next Sunday’s sermon or class!

The letter you received gives log-on instructions and your individual license number. Because we purchase a group license for the Presbytery, this service is free for every congregation. (The standard membership does not allow you to download clips however, downloading privileges are available for $34.95/year.)

Can’t find your letter – call Member Services at 888.302.6020
