Union Station Kickoff!!!

It all starts in just a few days!!!  Union Station is our Children's Ministry monthly gathering of parents and kids for a time of amazing worship, hilarious skits, and a quick message.  US is based off of North Point's KidStuf program.  They do an amazing job covering every technical aspect of what needs to happen for the events and we roll with it each month. 

Something different is taking place in just a few days...Instead of having US in our Gym on Sunday Mornings, it is being moved to our Main Worship Center on Friday Nights @ 7:30PM.  What does this mean for the tech crew?

• Programming moving lights like we have always dreamed of. 
• Programming chases like we have always dreamed of.
• Using a digital console with snapshots as it's intended to be used.
• Using ProPresenter to roll back tons of backgrounds, music, video clips and lyrics.
• GETTING HS AND MS YOUTH PLUGGED IN TO OUR TECH CREW!!!!

I remember looking at Adam Callender's blog several months ago and seeing students running their Vista 8's, HOG, Vista Spyder System, Cameras, and was blown away!  The students get it.  Things click so much faster with them and technology.  I'm not saying that I don't enjoy older volunteers, but there is just something about the eagerness of younger people that excites me in Tech Ministry.  

I started off running a 24-Channel Biamp board for a small Methodist Church.  Went on to Christ Fellowship Miami and ran a 56-channel MH4 to getting to play with a Studer Vista 5 to programming an ETC Congo weekly.  I've always tried to be flexible and learn every seat at each place that I've worked at.  

Believe me, it pays off to be willing to learn almost anything...
