14 days to opening night...

This past Sunday was our Thanksgiving meal at the church, but included with the service we welcomed 7 into membership and had 2 adult baptisms. We had a big turn out this Sunday and beacuse of it we have seen a spike in the number of people going to http://www.rachelsreward.com/ and an additional 20 tickets were reserved.

Some of you may have heard that we are making a movie of Rachel's Reward. Last year was our first try and we basically documented the production and have used it for the actors and production crew in developing the program for this year. Well this year we are actually using the training we received earlier this year from CMNtv in troy MI. We will be filming the drama up close and personal using professional equipment loaned to us from the TV station. We did a trial on Monday and have found that this should be an intresting experience for all involved. Let just say, most people don't know what to do when there is a camera in thier face ( = lots of outakes). We will be documenting our progress for a behind the scenes video as well.

Calling all hands!!! Let the set construction begin. We have started building the extension to the stage, planed out the new scene panels, and have started painting. We will be clearing off the stage and setting up all of the scene panels on Sunday. Our goal is to be done by Friday so that we can start filming on Saturday.
