This week's newsletter from Gene


In addition to what you see Michael doing leading music on Sunday mornings, he is also responsible for our media and is doing an equally fine job with it. What does that entail? Basically everything that allows you to see and hear what is being presented on the platform comes under that umbrella. Our Sunday morning experience has become very technical that includes lighting, auditorium sound, stage monitoring, video screens, a different sound mix for the recordings upstairs, cameras and the mixing equipment that allows us to make our service available on the internet. Thank you Michael for for your diligence in making all this work and for training our volunteers to carry our their many responsibilities!!

One of the new benefits that has recently become available is seeing our Sunday morning service live through the internet. This has already become a very neat ministry to several of our people who are unable to attend, my wife, Lynn, being one of them. It allows them to “attend” and continue to be a part of Hillcrest. Now, I must confess, the administrator hat I wear is a little concerned about our people finding out how good of a job our guys are doing in producing this on-line service, that some may choose to stay at home and watch rather than coming. I’m thinking that is OK, as long as they double their tithe if they are just being lazy... Kind of like a “convenience fee.” What do you think?

Lynn and I will be in San Antonio the end of this week exploring the possibility of a stem cell transplant. Your prayers for wisdom are appreciated. If you would like to get regular updates as to her status, go to www.caringbridge.org and search for Lynn Chappell. You can select to receive email notification when an update is made so you don’t have to remember to check the site.
