One of the behind-the-scenes changes happening at Suncrest right now that I am excited about is that we have finally gotten our first Apple Computer. We took the plunge as part of the launch of the Suncrest East so we can have the best quality message videos to show at our new campus. In the picture below we’re in process of installing Final Cut Studio, an industry-standard video editing software package… after watching a bit of the intro/training DVD, I am even more eager to see how this new tool will help us create new media. Thanks to visual tech Jeff Gettemans for helping to get everything set up!
If you’re interested in video (filming, editing, etc.) at Suncrest, let me know, we’re building a team and kicking off some learning opportunities soon.

Two days ago my daughter was born… I updated people on the labor via Facebook, the first announcement was sent out by email, and within 24 hours I had a video edited and posted on YouTube. I love this digital life… and that St. Anthony’s in Crown Point has wi-fi…!

via email, facebook or phone, Patti gave birth to a healthy baby girl yesterday (August 13th) at 2:13pm. Evie is out and loving it! Both mom and baby are doing great, thanks all for the prayers and encouragement for the last 9+ months! Click the “Evie V” tab above to hear the latest updates… right now, I just have a video of her first day up, but hope to have some more stuff up there soon!

OK, maybe not, but this is very cool:
Gearwire (a top-notch online audio technology magazine) recently interviewed our own Mike Ward about his role as sound engineer at Suncrest, and you can find several videos here: http://www.gearwire.com/search/node/suncrest. Thanks to Gearwire for the great interviews, humor, and link love to Suncrest’s site. Mike works at Studio Chicago and has used his professional knowledge to continually make our worship experiences better. So glad more people can benefit from his expertise with these vids! Thanks Mike!
BTW, note the odd guitar player in the background of some of the stage shots. What a funny looking guy.

That’s the haul Patti just brought home from her first baby shower… she made out like a big balloon-shaped bandit! This picture does not include a stroller(!) that was ordered for us and a nice little stack of gift cards. Lots of awesome kids books, too. Thanks all for your generosity, and to my east campus compatriot Julie Coons for throwing it for her! We even got two diaper cakes! Mmm… diapers….
