Hi Friends

Nick has installed our new Allen and Heath, 40 channel mixing board over the past couple of days and we had our first band rehearsal for tomorrow morning’s service today to get it all up and running.

I asked that we invest in a new board for two reasons; our old Mackie board was starting to make dying noises and I didn’t want us caught in the lurch should it catastrophically fail, and we had outgrown the Mackie’s 24 channels.

What I didn’t know (Nick told me but I didn’t realize it would be so extreme) was how much clarity and spaciousness this new board would bring to our sound just by virtue of being a new and better board. The only experience I have with “sound” has been in my job here with our old Mackie board and when I heard the sound through the new board today, both onstage and in the house I was astounded at the difference. It makes the old Mackie board (God bless that little workhorse and all it did for us) sound kind of muddy and “noisy” in comparison.

I wanted to let you all know so that you can enjoy it tomorrow as you hear sound through it for the first time. Of course we may have little bugs to work out here and there as is the case with such a major equipment
upgrade, and your constructive feedback and comments are as always welcome and invited, but I invite you to bask in the glory of such a wonderful sonic improvement in our home.

With Excitement and Appreciation to Jan and our Board of Trustees for making it possible to acquire this new mixing board and to our sound crew – all of them for continuing to work so hard to bring us beautiful, clear, moving sound,

Chris

Location:New Sound Board

Blast from the Past: Revisiting a Memorable 2007 Event

  Hello, cherished community members! In today’s installment of our "Blast from the Past" series, we're throwing it back to a memorable event from 2007. The details might be a bit hazy, but with a little collective memory, we can bring this picture back to life. The central clue to unlocking this memory is the presence of lilies on the stage. These beautiful flowers set the scene for what must have been a special occasion. But what exactly was this event celebrating or marking? Was it a seasonal festival, a commemorative gathering, or perhaps a milestone for our community? Now, let's turn our attention to the people in the photo. They were undoubtedly key players in this event. Do you recognize any of these faces? They could be long-standing members, volunteers, or even special guests with a significant role in the occasion. And for those who have been part of our community since 2007 or earlier, I have a question: were you there at this event? If so, what memories or

Blast from the Past: Reliving a Memorable Event in Our Community's History

Hello to all our wonderful community members! Today, in our "Blast from the Past" series, we're taking a stroll down memory lane to revisit a special event in our community's history. An event captured in a photo that speaks volumes about the spirit and camaraderie of our group. Let's start with the event itself. Can you identify which event this photo is from? Each event in our community has its unique flair and significance, and this one is no exception. It might have been a celebration, a commemoration, or perhaps a regular gathering that holds a special place in our collective memory. In the photograph, there's a person playing the harp. Do you recall who this talented musician is? The harpist's performance undoubtedly added a layer of elegance and tranquility to the event.  Ha. And the hair? Alongside the harpist, there are other individuals who appear in the photo. Each of them played a role in making the event memorable. Do you recognize them? Perha

Blast from the Past: Unraveling the Mystery of the Number 45

Hello, everyone! It's time for another delightful trip down memory lane with our "Blast from the Past" series. Today, we're focusing on a photo from a past party that holds a special place in our community's history. And there's a hint to unlock the memory - it has something to do with the number 45. But what exactly were we celebrating? In the photo, you can see a group of people, each with a story to tell. Do you recognize any of these faces? They could be long-standing members of our community, special guests, or perhaps even individuals who played a significant role in what we were celebrating that day. One detail in the photo that might catch your eye is the floor, which appears to be in less-than-perfect condition. Why is that? Maybe there's an interesting story behind it? And finally, I'm reaching out to you - were you there at this party? If so, what memories do you have of the event? Was there a special significance that the event held for you
