Last ALTAER of the semester!

Tonight was our last regular ALTAER service for our high
school students tonight. The band has come so far this year.
It's incredible to think about what is in store for next year!

Last epicenter service of the semester

Tonight was our final weekly epicenter service before summer starts. We will have 2 summer services June 7 and July 12th. Then, we'll kick things back up with our regular schedule beginning on August 9th. It's hard to believe that we've had 17 services since we started on January 4th. It's been an exciting journey so far and I'm excited to see where the next season will take us!

The band did an incredible job tonight. We have been working on integrating loops and clicks. Tonight was the first set that we have done entirely with clicks on every song. It really tightened us up and kept us from speeding up on several of the songs.

Set List:
Happy Day - loop
Spring of Life - loop
Salvation is Here
None But Jesus - loop
From the Inside Out
Kingdom Come - loop

The band has done amazing this semester. I'm so thankful to be working with such talented musicians and great people. They have served faithfully this semester and it has been a joy to work with them on a weekly basis. I'm glad we have a break for a few weeks but I'm really looking forward to us coming back together in the fall!

New stage design for "Unwritten"

Here are a few pics from our latest stage setup for the "Unwritten" girls event we had last night. Hannah and Jenica led worship with a band of guys backing them up. Since it was supposed to be an "all-girls" night, we wanted to hide the band guys a bit so we found a place to buy cardboard circles. We zip-tied these together to create a "curtain". We were able to shine lights on and through the circles to get some cool effects. Overall, very effective and inexpensive (about $40 for zip ties and all the circles!).
