i’m now researching the next big tapestry purchase. truthfully i’m about fed up with buying large items for tapestry, i would much rather use our resources doing something good rather than just buying more equipment. yet i guess this is a part of it all right now. anyhow, we will be meeting in a gym so the lit up ugliness factor of the room is pretty high. i want to reduce this ugliness factor by controlling the lighting and thus i am looking into buying portable lighting. the key concerns here are that the lighting needs to be a good value, rugged, portable, and dependable.

i know next to nothing about lighting (i put some up in the parkview student center and it worked but i think that was luck). right now i’m looking at this set up, the mbt weekender dmx. it’s $823 plus $110 in shipping. oh how i hate spending money like that for lights. still i want to hide as much of the gym ugliness as possible and lighting seems to be the best way to do it.

so blog readers who know a thing or two about lighting (phillip & chester)  lend me your brains. is this a good buy? too much lighting? too little? we’re not going to be doing much with lighting (other than hiding gym ugliness). on and off is a must, dimming would be nice but it’s not essential.  i don’t want to spend any more than this and i would love to spend less. any suggestions?

i’m in the process of having to produce signage for the inside and outside of washington elementary when we are in the building. right now it looks like group imaging is going to offer the best deal for portable and easy to put up signs (but i’m very open to other companies if someone knows a better one).

anyhow here are the two 3’x7’ signs that i will probably be ordering for inside the building. these come with an easily collapsible stand.

any thoughts?

here’s what i’m looking at for the portable sign for outside. it’s 3’x9’ with grommets. woohoo!

this is just some tapestry admin stuff. these are photos of washington elementary school, the facility we will rent for services on sunday evening. i’m just putting the pictures up so the launch team can dream a little concerning what we can do with it.

   

i’m working on a “rave card” (basically a 4”x6” card) to start handing out to people as a reminder of the tapestry launch that is coming up soon (september 14th). once the “rave card” is finished it will probably also turned into some door hangers and perhaps a billboard for a month.

this is just the first mock up of the front of the card. the back will be full of information. the model for the picture is the daughter of one of our friends/neighbors. as you can tell from the look on her face, she’s fun.

i’m just posting this up here to get a few people’s opinion. any thoughts?

the july prayer email for tapestry has been sent out. you can view it here. if you are not already receiving this monthly email and would like to receive it then simply email me and i will put you on the list. thanks for praying.

for those of you keep track of the the birth of tapestry i thought you would like to know that we now officially have a spot. our request has been approved and we will be holding services at washington elementary school. now we just have to begin those services. 3 more months.
