Northwood Church Video: May 2011

.

This is a bit of an experiment with Windows Movie Maker and features some of the best pix from Northwood Church.

A New Youtube Slideshow

.

Pix from 2008 and early 2009, set to RPs song "Jesus Reigns Forever", which is a touch rockier than what we generally sing Sunday mornings (so far).

The pix are hosted here at my own church picture blog, but I thought I'd list the official website for more info.

This vid reflects discussions we were having over clarifying the intent of our full name (Northwood Park Church of Christ).

We were thinking through various issues, including how the "Church of Christ" part gets misunderstood by some people as Mormon, and also how some uses of it (esp. "The Church of Christ" without a neighbourhood reference) can sound arrogant and exclusivist, thereby MISrepresenting our beliefs about other congregations of Christ's Church in Thunder Bay.

Victoria Day (Monday, May 23/11)

I had a quiet day at home, beginning with a walk around the block in the rain. This is who greeted me in my back yard when I returned.

Singing at Pinewood Court: May 20/11

.
From my POV



I used to sing from the blue book, but when Ruth joined me, I made the enlarged photo copies so as not to crowd her. If she'd played left-handed, we could have sung Beatles style, (though not so close).

Since Ruth has been away, I use the copies anyway -- because I find it hard to read from the book now anyway!

"The Tempest" May 2011: Behind the Scenes

See also my post of Bryan MacLeod's pix.

In addition to playing Adrian (as I said, see the other post), I recorded the sound for the show. Here are some highlights. The "Flout 'Em and Scout 'Em" flute solo (generated by Garage Band) might be a bit loud. When played in the theatre, the software set the playback for a suitable level.

The Wrap Party was held at Bryan's, featuring suitable gifts from Eva, the director,
lots of food and beverage, a bonfire and (of course) a hottub (aka human soup).
