As I mentioned in a post earlier today we rented the Veterans Memorial Arena (although we did not use the entire arena) for our Easter service so we could have everyone from the two campuses and all of the services together at one time (I saw people Sunday that I had not seen in years).
While I was editing the pictures I thought I should also give out a note about some incredible help from Casting Crowns. They had a concert on Saturday and not only loaned us some of their equipment (so we didn’t have to drag it out from the church and set everything up fresh on Sunday morning), but their production crew stayed around and manned (womanned too) the equipment. They had their cameras set up and even had some guys on stage getting close-ups. It really looked awesome.
I personally am thankful that as a part of getting everything ready they gave backstage passes to some of our media guys. Because of that I was able to lock up the church building early. Who wants to drag rehearsal late when you could be hanging out at a concert pursuing necessary reconnaisance.
This Saturday, Disney on Ice (actually not a reference to cryogenics) will be performing Finding Nemo. I doubt they would have been a amenable to us using their equipment.
Next week we will be across the road at the baseball grounds for a Suns game. Our choir is singing the national anthem, our preacher is throwing out the pitch (potentially his shoulder), and Barlow Girl will be performing after the game.
The following week VeggieTales will be performing live on our stage.
In other words, it’s getting a bit busy around here.
