Origin Band

So I instead of posting pictures of the new stage design, I thought I would just post some videos from the Origin Band last Wednesday. although this does not do justice to the service itself...also these are only a few of the slow songs...We didn't run camera production, just a wide angle camera (and the fast songs were a little distorted).

Super Bowl Party and Bobby Humphrey

Man I am getting excited about this Sunday. We are having an awesome Super Bowl Party...Big Screens (inHD!), wii's, x-box 360, wings, pizza and the list goes on and on, but to top it all of we have Bobby Humphrey coming in to speak for us at halftime.



If you didn't grow up in Alabama you may not be as familiar with him as those who did. Bobby Humphrey was one of the greatest running backs ever for the Alabama Crimson Tide. He played for them in the late 80's and went on to be a first round draft pick in 1989 by the Denver Broncos. Needless to say, being here in Birmingham, he will be a great draw for all football fans, but especially Alabama fans.

If you are from the Birmingham area, listen to WDJC Friday morning...they are going to be doing an interview with Bobby about what he's doing and also about the Super Bowl party Sunday!!

It's going to be awesome! Don't miss it!!

Wednesday was Crazy Good

Okay so for all of you who did not make it Wednesday to our service with the Origin band...you missed it! And I have to say...I told you so! It was amazing. This band is so tight, anointed and really have a passion to share Jesus Christ through their music! Since I am still waiting on our other stage pictures I wanted to share some pictures from Wednesday.

Kaden had to make sure everything sounded right, so he was handling the sound check


Here is a shot of Eric (lead singer)...He is such a passionate worship leader. He has no clue how crazy good he is!!


Here is a great shot of the students worshiping...It was a great night!

Wednesday...BE THERE

This Wednesday the Origin Band is going to be doing service. It's going to be an amazing worship service. All I can say is Be there!! If you miss it and here about how awesome it was...I'll have to say I told you so!

Stage Design

So I've been extremely busy finishing up the stage design (which is still a work in progress), having leader's meetings, Winterfest Steering Committee Meeting, and the list goes on. But as promised here are some pics from last week's service. This should give you a glimpse at the stage. We also took some pics last night after service because we got our truss in!! So I'll update those soon as I get them.

Great Start to 2009

So it's been a week since I've last posted but it has been a crazy one!! We have been working extremely hard and long hours to get our new stage design done for our first worship service of the new year...and it looks great!! We just added an 8' tall by 18' wide screen as our backdrop...changed lighting...added staging on the front...cleaned everything out!! I'm waiting on pictures that were taken last night to be emailed to me...as soon as I get them I will post them.

Last Nights service was also great! We used this video (which Blake remade)

It rocked!! The band came right in with Your Name High (Hillsong) I came out and did welcome, Alan offering, then an awesome worship bumper. The worship set was Solution, Rain Down, and What You Say I Say. The band did great (especially with all the new stage design and locations of everyone being moved!! Great job CJ and Band!)

Finally, I begin sharing the vision for our student ministry for 2009. I only got through part of it because we were running behind but it was exciting!! I can't wait to see the AMAZING things God is going to do this year here!

Thank you to all the workers who worked tirelessly on the stage design!! I couldn't have done it without you!!
It was definitely a great start to 2009!
