Well, I've tried to spend some time in my office getting some of my "real" work done. It's been pretty fruitful, especially today.
- I've pretty much finished designing the Fall Conference stuff like pastors' binders, name tags, and workshop signs. I've also made the order of worship and collected the music for the three services. I still need to prepare my music and plan the media in MediaShout (like PowerPoint).
- We've also accomplished a few major tasks in the Worship Center. We mounted an ran wires for both the house speakers & projectors and the stage lighting is almost working.
- Andrea's been busy, too, getting people help her make the church nice for the visiting pastors for the conference. She's been painting doors, the main sign up front, and entry way walls. Tonight, they mounted a big cross and some wreaths on the back wall of the stage. It looks nice.
There are still some concerns, though.
- We had another city inspection today and have not yet gotten an okay for occupancy this Sunday.
- While both the speakers and projectors are mounted, there are still some wiring issues our sub-contractor has to work out.
- The lighting dimmers for the stage lights seem to have a circuit board problem and also needs to be fixed by our sub-contractor.
- All the floor pockets still need to have ends soldered so it can connect to the sound booth.
- I can't move any equipment we're moving in the Fellowship Hall until I know for sure we can use the Worship Center this Sunday. Once I can move it, there is a lot of setting up and wiring to do in the sound booth. I still have video equipment coming in Friday afternoon that will need to be hooked up, too
With all that is going on, I've been to Home Depot at least once a day for a week. Things are coming along, but it looks like the 12-hour days we've been putting in for the last two weeks are not over. It looks like a long weekend ahead.
There are still some concerns, though.
