Today at Elevation 11-23-08

Monday, November 24th, 2008

We had Chrystina Fincher in from Atlanta. Today’s highlight video is of Chrystina singing one of her originals called “Your Love.” Pastor Steven used pumpkins as a financial illustration. There was nasty pumpkin insides all over the stage! For a list of the worship songs from this weekend go here at some point this week! I’m also showing you an announcement video and sermon recap video for the series which includes all weeks of Real Change except for this week. Enjoy.

RENDER

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

This post will only make sense to about 20 of you. Here’s a little poem i’ve been working on piece by piece while sitting waiting on my computer to render. Everyone in the office has been making fun of me as I have been writing it. However, this tuesday when Geoff Shultz (motion graphics genius) came into the office to watch the motion graphic that he had been rendering all night… and it wasn’t done… he came to my desk… and said, “it’s time to finish the poem.” This piece of goodness is a lyrical jam. Imagine hip hop music playing: and me passionately reading this text:

Render render all the time, when it’s done i’ll be out of my prime.
Render here, render there, any longer i’ll lose my hair.

It’s time to go home so I start the render
Could the power go out and become a hinder?

I arrive in the morning to see my work complete
So i shake my mouse, and yell out a BLEEP.

The meetings in an hour, the renders not done
THE RENDERS… NOT… DONE!!!!!!!!!

Wow. I’m such an idiot!

Last night was amazing

Monday, November 17th, 2008

Last night our volunteers and key leaders gathered at our new Matthews Campus to pray over the space in anticipation of what God is going to do there. I was blown away by what God has already done at our Matthews Campus through worship and prayer last night. This building will be cutting edge in technology and creativity. However, last night we started out on the right foot. Regardless of what the building will have in it technology wise, in fact wipe all that away… because this building is going to represent a vision of seeing people far from God being filled with life in Christ! At the end of the day… that is the only reason we exist. Our new campus is coming early fall 2009!

This week @ Elevation

New Worship Song- Teaser

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

I’m always real excited when the guys write a new worship song. It’s no secret that I like original songs. This new one is called, “You Are Holy.” It’s an Elevation Original. I love how the song really opens up in the chorus. If you like it, leave the guys a comment here or see more about them here here and here. Enjoy this teaser.

If it’s broke fix it

Friday, November 7th, 2008

A couple of weeks ago… I got to our Butler campus. The video team came to me and said… “umm… i think one of the projectors is broken.” I went to take a look at it not thinking it was anything big. I quickly discovered that the problem wasn’t small. In fact, the lens of the projector was falling out because the projector lense mount was broken. All that to say… if it’s broke, i guess… fix it. What that meant in order to get the service going was this:
