We had a great evening together at Shoreline. David Cherry and his team started the evening with a showing of one of their original videos.

Then they fired up all their auditorium systems and showed their video announcements and music videos. One of their musicians played and sang for us. The light show was outstanding.

David led us on a tour of their facilities: the auditorium, the control room, backstage and the kids’ rooms. The fellowship and food was, as always, wonderful. We had 43 people in attendance from 19 area churches.

Our next gathering is March 25th at Omega Broadcast emphasizing supporting larger productions and services such as Easter. It will include and audio session, video session, and stage lighting session. Watch the website for more info as we finalize details for this meeting.
