You DO give a CAM!!!

Hey guys!! i guess you really do give a CAM!! I just wanted to say great job on Anniversary this past Sunday!! I know it might not seem like we did anything super huge, but just the fact that we thought it was a "normal" sunday was HUGE!!! Why was is soo huge? well let's think about it. Last year at this time we started services at about 9:45 cause we had little to no clue what was going on!! And now come 9:30, we're just waiting for the congregation to show up!! And let's look at the sound team this week. Kudos goes to those guys, we had another "rickEy" band (which is like at least 2 or 3 of EVERY instrument, my dream but sound nightmare). Those sound guys just looked at me, laughed and then had everything sounding good!! and Super props to the film team!! Many of you guys might not know this, but their equipment was robbed. And for the past couple of weeks they have been putting up great visuals for all to see (not to mention still producing videos and getting ready for a mission trip to India). Props (special thanks) also goes out to production. this past week was another production nightmare, not only did we add a speaker that likes to talk, but we threw in a 13 minute video, a moving foward prologue from Adam (who can get going when he's going), AND we had a Bar-B-Que (not to mention it happened 2wice)!! And before i give out more thanks, i think i'll start a new paragraph....

ok thats better!! It was just a great job all around. Way to go Set-up and Break down teams. And then another HUGE thanks to the lighting team! they are 2 weeks old using our own equipment and they have made sure that we have enough lights to run a service. And speaking of the Light Team.....WE HAVE A LIGHTING team so if you're interested in joining, or know somebody...please contact Derek Cook at dcook@woodmark.com. And kudos goes out to the Worship Team. they went to a Vocal Training seminar Friday night, and Saturday morning at 8am and then another rehearsal from 3-7 and then had an earlier call time. Thanks guys!!

So now that you all give a CAM, you can check here each week and i'll have stuff about whats going on and whats coming up and just kewl thangs.

p.s. ( i still have a lil more BBQ at the house...its goin quick!!)

a message from your friendly neighborhood film team

We hope all is well in your life as we would like to share some exciting news in ours. We’re going to India. “Why?” you ask. Well, keep reading.

The four of us have been invited to document an event put on by Truthseekers International over the Thanksgiving holiday. If you click the link at the end of this sentence, you’ll see information on the event from their Footwashing India brochure (link)…Okay, done reading?

As you know, we dabble in film, video and photography. Some of us are even lucky enough to make a living at it. As artists, we have a unique gift that can not only bless Truthseekers and the Indian people, but also you at home. We’re called to be witnesses of the gospel and this event is the gospel in action. What better way to demonstrate God’s love for people than through honoring, blessing, praying for and washing the feet of Indian peoples who have been rejected for centuries in India? And we get to witness this grand act of love. Not only that, God has blessed us with the opportunity to bring back the words and actions of our brothers and sisters in India back to you. This opportunity is tailor made for us to use our talents to bless others…and by tailor, we mean God.

Join us, will you? Here’s the help we need. Most importantly, please partner with us in prayer. Some things to pray for:

- God’s protection against spiritual and physical obstacles
- Sensitivity to His will
- A collaborative attitude
- That we can capture this event honestly and truthfully

Also, our goal is to raise $2500 each for airfare, food, production costs and other living expenses while in India. We will be leaving on November 10th and coming back on the 24th. Please send your support by November 3rd (checks payable to NewSong Church, tax deductible - write INDIA MISSION in subject line if you dont have a reponse card) to:

NewSong Church
5800D Hannum Ave
Suite D
Culver City, CA 90230

Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoyed it.

Love and Blessings,
Jenny and Gary, Peter, Yooch
