Weekly Post

I hope this posting finds everyone in good health. I'm so excited to have so many new recruits helping us in our media ministry. We will now have many more hands, which always makes the load light. Thanks again to all the new recruits.

Friendly reminder that we're going to be having our formal training this Thursday, July 30th and next Thursday, August 6th both at 6:30 PM. We shouldn't be more than one and a half hours. Really :0)

We will be covering quite a bit, therefore, we will be starting right on time. As much of the training is hands on, it's important we see everyone at 6:30. Ok, enough of the particulars.

Great new for us all. We have now received a new Canon video camera that records directly to disk. Along with a new pro level, wireless mic and body pack. This will allow us to record a few new items that our leadership has requested of us. We also received some additional on camera lighting gear, that will help us shoot better in the dark. Namely, for D2. They like to be in the dark. We light up the dark :0). At least now we will. Remember, we're the light of the world (corny, i know).

Speaking of D2, we will have some of their staff training along side ours. D2 will be covering a few things for our ministry such as man on streets, exit interviews as well as capturing clips for D2 and GOD School. This definitely is exiting for us as we desparately needed an additional camera for this type of work. We'll definitely find other uses for this new equipment. Training will be performed on this new gear beginning this Thursday as well.

Our switcher (person in charge of switching our computer screens from live to computer, scriptures, lyrics, etc..), will be not only enjoying the pleasure of learning a new presentation application, but for some a brand new, very stable operating system, Apple OS. oooooooooooooo yes, deserves another oooooooooooooo No worries, it's as easy as falling off a bike. But we first need to learn how to ride this new bike :0)

Well, won't keep you, but just wanted to give you all heads up as to our up coming formal training. Have a couple of things planned for these two days, but need to confirm. Will let you know what's up as well as training points as the formal training day nears.
