Christmas "Showtime"
Approaching Fast
It's early November, and all over America the thoughts
of church media directors and other planners are turning to what is
often the church's biggest outreach event of the year, the Christmas
show.
At this point, of course, any church whose Christmas pageant or
production plans aren't very far along should probably think
about waiting until next year. But the country abounds in holiday
programs that have been staged for years, have tremendous popular
followings, and occupy the energies of hundreds of people for months
leading up to the Christmas season. more>>

Houston Church/Community Center
Opts for Wireless of the Future
The fast-growing Copperfield
Church in Houston was founded in 1991, and now its services average
between 800 and 1,000 people per week. Also unusual is the fact that the
church's entire technical arts ministry consists of lay people who
volunteer their services for the church. Copperfield Technical Director
Michael Mychalczuk, responsible for all audio and video at the church,
also has a full-time job with a local software manufacturer.
According to Mychalczuk, "The church has grown over the years
absolutely debt free. We build out as we have the funds to pay for the
individual technical elements. So we had to design a sound, video, and
lighting system that could be installed in phases. We had to think three
to five years in the future, and build into them." more>>

Calvary Baptist Church Upgrades
Worship Space With New Hitachi CP-X443 LCD Projector
In a unique demonstration of the long-throw
capabilities of the Hitachi CP-X443 LCD projector, Calvary Baptist
Church in State College, Penn., recently installed a CP-X443 for its
main worship space. Sold through Centre Business Products of Mount Union, Penn., the
projector is being used for its worship services, which have grown to
400 people.
As the church has seen its congregation increase dramatically in size
in recent years, the church chose to expand its worship seating to
accommodate the additional churchgoers. "We saw an opportunity to
upgrade our worship area, so we cascaded an older projector into an
overflow room on the other side of the main lobby," says ministry
associate Bob Barbash. more>>
