It’s getting too close to Christmas and time is running out on this project. We wrap up our series “THE BIG PICTURE” this weekend and it’s time to assemble all of the pieces of the picture together to finish up the series. That calls for one large frame! The finished structure will be 14′ [...]

I thought I’d give you a peek at the Christmas decor at First Baptist this year. About this time last year we looked at the Christmas decorations and went “ok, it’s time to change”. However, we were late in the game getting it done for 2007 so we made a plan for 2008. We went [...]

Back in 2001 a former church that I served found itself in an all too familiar place. At the end of the summer we were significantly behind budget and needed to find a way to “catch up” during the critical Fall period. We came up with the campaign “90 to Nothing”–meaning that we would take [...]

This post is part of Creative Chaos over on Ragamuffinsoul.com. It’s a place where people who are creative share creative thoughts and ideas. Ok–this post is a little different and I’ll admit I’m somewhat hesitant to post this because it’s awkward. In my years of doing sets and visuals for the church I’ve never done [...]

I knew coming to Glorieta (New Mexico) this week would offer me the chance to look at a space where worship takes place naturally. The Prayer Gardens at Glorieta is simply one of the most inspired natural spaces that I’ve seen. The majestic Aspen trees lead your eyes to the heavens not to mention the [...]

Large spaces-can you name the large spaces in our lives that require design, decoration, atmosphere and experience? Hotel lobbies come to mind and having seen the inside of 7 of them in the last two weeks I was interested to see how each of these entities treated the lobby area with design and decoration. [...]

As part of our new series, “THE BIG PICTURE”, we created a blog on WordPress for our people to continue the conversations from Sunday mornings teaching and worship experience. It will be interesting to see over the coming weeks how many people jump into this new form of communication in the church. I’m excited to [...]

For our next series, THE BIG PICTURE, we had to create 12 large (42X42) large scale graphics of one picture to display on stage. Each week we’ll add one more piece to the stage and then we’ll assemble the pictures together on the last Sunday. This program helps me take a picture and bust it [...]
