Thanks to you all for consistently serving above and beyond your normal monthly assignments. You are making the clear gospel available to thousands each time you serve.

On Sunday, July 27th, we heard from Josh's father, Gregg Harris, on "Don't Waste Your Kids." You can listen to the message, and use application questions for personal study.
I only have a couple notes from that morning, most likely because so much has transpired since then that I've lost a clear perspective on what actually happened.
First, I need to do a better job of finalizing the order of announcements when Josh is leading through them. Because he is the senior pastor, he rightfully feels the freedom to improvise, but that has continued to cause us problems related to getting slides up at the right time. I think the best solution at this point is for me to be more active in getting the right order from him on Sunday morning.
Second, we had the privilege of supporting parents in child dedications. We changed up the stage arrangement a little bit, so that we could get three things at once:
- A clear shot of Josh
- A clear shot of the families.
- Josh could look at the families and at a camera at the same time.

This past Sunday, Mark Mitchell taught us how to not waste our jobs. If you were running tech in Discovery Land or taking care of IMAG, you can listen and apply.
Tech on Sunday was tremendously smooth, especially given that we were understaffed. Thanks, Chris, for leading your video team through this wild morning. I saw that you filled out three of the checklists yourself!
Sunday must have been smooth, nevertheless, because this is what I heard from Grant over the radio (a first): "No notes from me for you, Dave. Excellent job." Sweet job, everyone, and thank you, God, for helping us in our weakness.
I have just a few bullet-point notes:
- I need to get Josh's announcements order earlier on. Did I say that already?
- House directors, don't forget to change the matrix switcher. My 10-month old son is my spy in the nursing mother's room, so I do find out about it.
- Chris asked about leaving up video during prayer. Do we leave it up or take it down? As of today, just leave it up. For those who don't close their eyes in prayer, let's give them something to see that helps then concentrate on the prayer.

I think it's important to note that when the camera switch goes to black the DVD goes to black, so it would probably be a good idea to only have the house put up black if we decide to take it down doring a prayer again. This wasn't a big deal since this Sunday the only prayer we blacked out was the in the first service during the prayer for the men being sent out. That just came to mind when I was picturing what it would be like to have a DVD with only the audio during the prayers.
Just to capture the one audio glitch I can think of... The mixer checklist says to mute the right bleachers cluster during the first meeting, as that area is blocked off to keep people from sitting there. Except this past Sunday it wasn't blocked off, and I didn't turn around and see that until the end of worship. So the few dozen people in the right bleachers during the first meeting didn't get very clear sound. A little communication breakdown there.
