Pastor Mark Smith is preaching this weekend at church, and as an illustrator, he is using a clip from the film "Gettysburg". It should be a powerful illustration, but it got me thinking about the rest of my week in a very different way.
Monday, May 5 is a huge workday at church. We will be stripping the sanctuary of everything we need to keep (video system, Organ, Piano, Audio System, lights, costumes, robes, decorations, other equipment). We will also be prepping our gym for the contemporary worship services that begin there next Sunday, May 11. We will also preparing our equipment for McCrery's, the site of our traditional worship services starting also on Sunday, May 11. It is going to be a very busy day!
This week is turning into a huge preparation for that day. It is almost like preparing for battle. We know that date of the "battle". Until then, we will stockpile supplies (in our case, making sure we have all the right equipment (patch cables, rack mounts, etc.)), review our troupe lists (volunteers who are coming to help out), and our battle plan, (making sure we have the right people doing the right things in the right sequence.)
It is going to be very exciting, and I am so grateful for those who have already signed up to help out. We are going to be a good crew!
This purpose of this blog is to share thoughts on worship and life. I invite you to join in the conversation. Here on the porch, we are a community, whether that is here in the Brandywine Valley or anywhere else in this amazing world. Come join the journey!

Reading your blog and looks like we may be able to help you. We supply many religous organizations cables and patch cables at www.showmecables.com I enjoyed seeing the pictures...the cables made me chuckle.
God Bless.
Yes, it made us chuckle also! Thanks for your website, we may be in touch. What you saw in the picture was a hap-hazard set-up. We actually have a snake that runs to floorboxes/junction boxes all over the gym, we just didn't have access to it that week.
