News and Events For December 2006

Work Day

Thank you to everyone who helped on the Gym project on Saturday. I really appreciate it. I will be looking for possibly some week night work times to finish it, probably a Thursday. If you have Thursday nights free, please let me know. It won't take a lot of time or people to finish.

 

New Rotation and Calendar Notes

I haven't heard anyone who wants to step down, and I am very thankful for that. I wanted to let you know of a few events before I publish the new calendar.

• December 2 - 7:00 pm - Advent Festival Program. There will be a brief (30 minute) program in the sanctuary. If anyone would like to come to run CG, cameras, lights, or video direct, I am sure the Family Life Committee would appreciate how that may enhance the evening. This is totally optional. I jus thought it would be nice to document the event. Please let me know if you can help. It would be 6:30-7:45 for the crew.
• December 10 - 9:30 AM Children's Musical. The Children will be doing many of the tech positions for the 9:30 service, so most of the "regular" crew will have a break. I would those of you who would like, to mentor and teach the kids on their positions - give them tips and pointers. There is an optional (for you) rehearsal on December 8 at 6:30, if you would like to train then, too.
• December 17, 9:30 and 11:00 am - Adult Christmas Musical. This will be the big production of the season. I will need a full crew with spots for the program. Rehearsals are Dec. 11 at 7:00 pm, Dec. 12 and 13 at 7:30 pm. The requirement is that you can make at least the 12 and 13 rehearsals. Directors must make all rehearsals. See me for a CD. Regular rotation crew will be replaced by the "special team" crew. More details to come.
• December 24 - Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve falls on Sunday this year, the services and needs for that day are as follows.
• NO 8 AM Service
• Normal 9:30 AM service with Children's feature songs.
• Normal 11:00 AM service with Two Choir features
• 7:00 PM Choir and Orchestra (3 Features). Not really a "family-targeted" service, but there will be video overflow for kids and parents. There will be candlelight.
• 11:00 PM Bells/Communion/Candlelight
• December 31 - Normal three Sunday AM Services

Work Day

The work day is still on for Saturday, November 11 at 9 AM. Please meet in the Sanctuary. There are events happening on campus, but we will be able to work around them. BYOT... Bring Your Own Tools!

Notes:

The FUMC Brandon Music Store has been discontinued due to Songtouch discontinuing their "partner store" program.
