Free and Clear - October 28, 2007

Well, I will be posting full unedited service, so Worship Team, Directors, Camera Ops, DV7, Sound, etc... here is a way you can review your service. A lot of new training sessions will be coming, so be on the lookout!

This is 1st Service:


This is 2nd Service:

Final Cut Pro Training Sessions

I've been asked by a handful of people to teach Editing on Final Cut Pro. It will consists of three sessions that will meet Tuesdays at 6:00 pm starting November 6 at NewSong Irvine.

Session 1: Getting started with Final Cut Pro.
Session 2: Basic Editing
Session 3: DVD Authoring and Web Video

Requirements:
• MUST COMMIT to all three sessions. NO FLAKES, since this is my way of serving you on my own time, I hope you won't take me for granted and flake in the middle.
• Commit to being a part of the Pot Luck for all three sessions. Since it will be during dinner time, I figure we should have dinner together.

Answers to Questions you might have:
(1) If I am not a MAC person or edit with IMOVIE on a Mac, would this session help me?
- This class will be using Final Cut Pro but most editing systems are similar, therefore yes, it can be helpful.

(2) I don't have any experience, can I still participate.
- This training will be geared for the beginners.

(3) Why am I doing this?
- There are many ministries needing video help and since I can't do them all, training people could help empower others to do what I can't do.

Deadline for signups will be Tuesday, October 30th. Space will be limited and priority will go to my Production team volunteers.

If interested, send me an email with the following information.

(1) Name
(2) Equipment (Computer, Software, Hard drive)
(3) Ministry
(4) Contact Info (Phone Number and Email)

Horsie Dance

At the NewSong Retreat, I had to be initiated since I skipped out last year. I danced and boy did I dance. But after seeing this dude, I feel ashamed. He pretty much took my dance to another level.

Before you take that bite, watch this!

Letter from our NSLA Film Team Missionaries

We hope all is well in your life as we would like to share some exciting news in ours. We’re going to India. “Why?” you ask. Well, keep reading.

The four of us have been invited to document an event put on by Truthseekers International over the Thanksgiving holiday. If you click the link at the end of this sentence, you’ll see information on the event from their Footwashing India brochure (link)…Okay, done reading?

As you know, we dabble in film, video and photography. Some of us are even lucky enough to make a living at it. As artists, we have a unique gift that can not only bless Truthseekers and the Indian people, but also you at home. We’re called to be witnesses of the gospel and this event is the gospel in action. What better way to demonstrate God’s love for people than through honoring, blessing, praying for and washing the feet of Indian peoples who have been rejected for centuries in India? And we get to witness this grand act of love. Not only that, God has blessed us with the opportunity to bring back the words and actions of our brothers and sisters in India back to you. This opportunity is tailor made for us to use our talents to bless others…and by tailor, we mean God.

Join us, will you? Here’s the help we need. Most importantly, please partner with us in prayer. Some things to pray for:

- God’s protection against spiritual and physical obstacles
- Sensitivity to His will
- A collaborative attitude
- That we can capture this event honestly and truthfully

Also, our goal is to raise $2500 each for airfare, food, production costs and other living expenses while in India. We will be leaving on November 10th and coming back on the 24th. Please send your support by November 3rd (checks payable to NewSong Church, tax deductible - write INDIA MISSION in subject line if you dont have a reponse card) to:

NewSong Church
5800D Hannum Ave
Suite D
Culver City, CA 90230

Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoyed it.

Love and Blessings,
Jenny and Gary, Peter, Yooch

Production Hang Out Night

Thank you all who came out for this months P.H.O.N. I was very blessed by all who showed up and shared. It's funny how little we really knew of each other, until we are forced to share.

Who knew we had so many Swing Dancers and have someone who got kicked out of Korea! A Christina vs Gwen feud was fueled. And it's amazing how long some of our team has been apart of the crew!

For those who missed out, I hope you don't miss out next month!

Here are some announcements:
(1) NPC Crew Shirt Design Contest - We tried to have one last time and no one submitted anything. Maybe if you submit, you will win out of default.

(2) NPC Retreat - The winter is right around the corner and hopefully snow is around the corner. We will be heading up to Big Bear so keep your eye out for more information to come.

(3) New Members - Johnny Nguyen and Andy Han. If you see a new face in the booth or camera, go say hi and welcome them to the team.

Special Thanks to my wife, Tina for hosting all of us. Everyone give her hug and a thank you when you see her.

Anybody wanna ride this with me?

Proverbs 24:13-14

"Eat honey, my son, for it is good; honey from the comb is sweet to taste. Know also that wisdom is sweet to your soul; if you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off."

Hey guys,
I can't believe today marks my one year anniversary with NewSong. How the time has flown by! I look back at this past year and it's great to see all God has done in NewSong as well as my own personal life. Wow!

What an action packed Sunday! From the talk of "pollinating", to Drama to Special Song to Nancy's Commission, we did a great job. So far this series has been great for our NewSong and you all had a part in it.
For those who was wondering who the person in the booth was, it's Andy. He's our newest volunteer! He got to listen in to the behind the scenes clear comm chatter.

Well the P.H.O.N (Production Hang Out Night) will be on Thursday, October 11 @ 7 pm! We made it on a Thursday so that Martin can join us. So if he doesn't show up, we can all give him a hard time. An Evite is being created, so be on the lookout for it.

As we prepare for the move, let's really enjoy this time of rest and build each other up.
