My Doings Lately

After the Women's Retreat, I was asked to take a position on the Women's Board as the Coordinator of Special Events. Initially, this was only going to be the Christmas Tea this year to start, but this year instead of doing our summer Bible Study, we decided to do some evening events so this fell under my leadership. Our theme for the summer is "Adventures" and we are using the Indiana Jones theme in conjunction with the release of the newest movie. Our first event has already taken place and was just a time of adventure and allowing the ladies to form relationships and learn.

Our speaker at the first summertime talk. You can see the little Indiana Jones "Mr. Potato Head" on the table. He was so cute, I couldn't resist getting him.

In the Worship Arts ministry in which I am involved, we have taken down the staging we put up a few months ago for the parenting series as well as the beginning of summer and our summer events. I finally got a picture of it before we took it down.

Our "Parenting" Staging

In case you couldn't tell (there were people who couldn't), there are kites and a tree up there. We tried to portray a child's drawing of a tree. Staging is much harder than it might look, but it's so much fun. Other things we do are to add other "arts" elements to the service (i.e. dance, drama, videos, music, etc.) that pertain to the sermon series.

I love the parenting stage! I'm glad you're blogging again.

Looks GREAT! Our "wrinkle" team also does a great job of decorating the stage, sanctuary, foyer, etc., with things that tie into the current series.... right now there are little green army guys all over every where (LOL). If I wasn't on the worship team, I would probably consider the wrinkle team but both would be way too much work...
