We had a good turn out for the first weekend of Sunday worship service training with Teams A, B, and E. I was pleased to see the other team members stop in to visit and shadow at their leisure. Please continue to support your fellow team members and learn from them during the practice schedule at 9:30am and 11am services. Those times are your opportunities to get in the control and shadow your positions.
The system is nearly completely installed. We have the edit system connected and able to record and playback into the sanctuary as well. We provided a test run for the council meeting on Tuesday night, and they were excited to see the new Panasonic HD projector exceed their expectations. A good comparison is to view the confidence projection behind the audio booth to see the difference in the two displays. Night and Day!
Well let's get down to business. We are shifting team training this Sunday. Team A and B will cover the 8am sermon for the next 2 months, or at least through the month of February. Team A starts this Sunday at the 8am and continues every other week through February. Team B will record the 8am service starting next week and continue every other week. For the 9:30 service, Team E will continue training through February every Sunday. Team C & D will be able to shadow the 9:30 and 11am service into February. This gives us 2 solid Teams to work with at the start of the launch and a month later I can begin to rotate Team E into the 8am schedule. I expect to rotate Teams C & D into the mix starting in April.
Here's a timeline of the next several weeks to make things clearer:
Jan. 18th - 8am Service - Team A (Live recording becomes my first playback at Blue Valley)
9:30 Service - Team E (Practice)
11am Service - Team B (Practice)
Jan. 25th - 8am Service - Team B (Live recording becomes "Friends & Family" playback at Blue Valley)
9:30 Service - Team E (Practice)
11am Service - Team A (Practice)
Feb. 1st - 8am Service - Team A (Live recording becomes Launch playback at Blue Valley)
9:30 Service - Team E (Practice)
11am Service - Team B (Practice)
Feb. 8th - 8am Service - Team B (Live recording)
9:30 Service - Team E (Practice)
11am Service - Team A (Practice)
Feb. 15th - 8am Service - Team A (Live recording)
9:30 Service - Team E (Practice)
11am Service - Team B (Practice)
Feb. 22nd - 8am Service - Team B (Live recording)
9:30 Service - Team E (Practice)
11am Service - Team A (Practice)
Starting this weekend service as well is graphic support into the sanctuary. This week we will only provide support for the sermon, but next week we will provide graphic support for the entire worship service at all three services. That means that while our teams practice at the 9:30 and 11am service into the next few weeks, there will be an operator from Owen's team running graphics at all times for the worship service. We need to be conscience of his need to have interaction with Owen at the front of house on headset at all times. This operator will have a direct feed onto the Panasonic HD projection into the house, so Directors will not need to call shots for graphics. He is independent of the sermon recording. But, during the sermon times, we will have to call and record graphics from PowerPoint and Keynote for the Blue Valley edit.
One more note, starting this weekend, I will not be available for the 9:30 and 11am service times as I will be at the Blue Valley site. Directors - it will be your responsibility to practice up with your teams after I leave the 8am service. Don't worry about turning everything off after the 11am service this Sunday. I will take care of that this week. Just shut the door and make sure the lock is enabled. Next week, I will work with you' all on shutting the room down.
I think that's it for now. If there are any questions, feel free to post your comments here or call me with any concerns. Once again, I appreciate everyone's support and willingness to take on a heavy load at first to get over the hump of the launch. This is our way to make an impact and reach out to the Blue Valley community. Let's make it good!
