As we celebrate Palm Sunday this week, we will have a
short church service at
Jammin' Java prepared for the kids led by our very own Jen Way and Jackie Bulanow. The service will begin promptly at
11:15am and end at 11:45. We will talk about the (upside-down kingdom) ways that Jesus surprises us. The service will be short and sweet and will happen right before the picnic lunch and congregational meeting. Though it will be geared toward kids, of course all are welcome to attend. We will start at 11:15 and end at 11:45, right before we head over to
Glyndon Park for a simple picnic lunch together.
But before that all begins on Sunday morning, we will be holding our bi-annual (once every two years)
audio training workshop for all those interested / willing to help with tech setup and support. The training workshop is tailored for your desired level of involvement and proficiency: from wrapping a mic cable to running the new digital board that JJ recently purchased, and everything in between. All are welcome. Training on the Digital Board begins at 9am. New folks apprenticeship training begins at 10am.
Additionally, since we are working with a digital board, we get our own preset (#175) to store our settings. So to leverage this, each artist at Common Table will get their own channel or channels, and once set, mic check will be essentially finished when their mic gets plugged into their channel. So we will be asking artists to sign up for a mic check with their instruments so we can begin setting up their channel and our preset. We will ask artists to sign up on the Core list to come in at a specific time, starting at 1000. Please contact the
iTeam with questions or for more information regarding the audio training.
(For those not interested in audio training, you're welcome to come at 10am and help us re-organize the worship resources and kids' toys in the cabinet and bins behind Jammin' Java.)
And finally, the Next Steps Team is pleased to see all of the energy bubbling up around the various ideals and emphases of CT. So we're looking forward to the
congregational meeting on Sunday to get some updates from the various working groups that have been gathering since our last congregational meeting. We're not looking for 'deliverables' or action plans necessarily, but we'd love to hear how the process is going, what ideas are percolating, and where your energies and interests lie. We'll be meeting at the Rodman House (located in front of the Church of the Holy Comforter,
543 Beulah Rd NE, Vienna, VA 22180), starting promptly at
1pm. Please come ready to listen and learn how God is leading Common Table. (Also, the Amazing Jackie has aquired the services of several responsible babysitters, so bring any kids in your care and a few bucks to say 'thanks' for this great service.)
Looking forward to a big Sunday,
Mike Stavlund
