"Thank you so much for online worship. John and I are home sick today, but
I was able to worship with you online. I was with the 11:00 service. I
want you to know that these sermons are reaching me and I'm sure others as
well. I am pleased with your boldness and courage. It's not always easy to
reach folks my age but you do so every wk. The service was great. You
handled things so well. Thanks for coming back to pray at the end of the
service. We will pray here as well. God bless your ministry."

Tech Crew Help Wanted February 25 and Crew for March 1

First, Wednesday night is our Ash Wednesday service. We will need a full
crew to record the service:

CG, Video Director, Lights, Cameras

Please reply ASAP if you can be here at 6:15 Wednesday to help.

This coming Sunday is communion Sunday and Team C

* Lighting: Deb or Ralph
* CG: Katie
* Video Director:
* Cameras: Denise and Ralph or Deb

I don't know how comfortable Deb and/or Ralph feel on lights to run solo
yet. If I can get a light trainer to sit by one of them this week, that
would be great. Also, I really need to start training other people how to
video direct, so if you are interested in learning, let me know.

Crew For Sunday February 22 - Help wanted!

This coming Sunday is Team B: Help wanted!

* Lighting: Jim
* CG: Lisa
* Cameras: Denise, Fred and OPEN*

*I would like a third camera operator for this week due to a special guest.
The Splat Experience will be doing some performance art on a giant 8 foot by
8 foot canvas in the center of the stage. To accommodate it and get the best
shots, I am going to set up "Camera 4" on the right side of the balcony. So
we will need an extra camera operator over there to run that camera. This
will give us a cool angle of the artist, plus we will be able to see around
the canvas to see the band/orchestra and praise team.

ATTENTION MEN!

If you have not already signed up, call the church office to register for
the Momentum Event this Friday and Saturday. It is a great weekend of
worship and fellowship. It kicks off with a tailgate party on Friday Night
in the Bell Shoals Baptist Church parking lot. The night winds down about 9
or 10. Then at 8 a.m. (I think) 'ril noon, we're back for more worship and
teaching.

I'm signed up! So be there!

Stuart

(P. S. For full disclosure I most likely won't make the Friday night
experience, but I will make the Saturday for sure!)

What are doing with your days and nights

Want to help out tech but maybe you aren't up to serving at a service or
aren't available? Help out around the office! There are a lot of tasks that
don't have to been AT a certain time, but simply BY a certain time/day. Some
can even be done at home! Training is available for everything.

CD/DVD duplication

* Label and copy original recording from Sunday
* Label and make copies of DVDs and CDs ordered
* Label and make copies of praise team practice CDs

Data processing

* Download song lyrics into MediaShout and MS Word
* Format and arrange the songs in the correct order as sung
* Occasionally, songs need to be typed out "by hand"
* Log "used discs" into register
* Log copyright information on all songs performed
* Report copyright info to reporting agency

Media Filing

* Organize and file past recordings into the archive library (read
"closet")

Graphic Design

* Create, find or take your own song background pictures
* Pick the most "fitting" background for each song
* Create eye-catching announcement graphics for the service and the
"loop"

If you are interested in helping with any of these tasks, give Stuart or
Janeen a shout at church 689-4161 or media@fumcbrandon.org.

Crew For Sunday, February 15 - Team A

This Sunday is Team A. If you want a CD to listen to of the music for this
week, please stop by my office in the sanctuary.

* Lighting: Andrew
* CG: Dave
* Camera: Denise

I am also going to send another e-mail with the new rotation. The only
changes are the Jeff has stepped down, and Ralph L. has been added to Team
C.

Church Volunteer Articles

I found this post among the blogs I read with links to articles about tech
volunteers and recruiting. I hope we can all strive to recruit more tech
volunteers in our own spheres of influence.
