<h3><strong>What is on the Schedule: </strong></h3><p><strong>Ministry overview and facility tour </strong>- Gateway has
been blessed with a wonderful facility and a nice complement of media
tools with which to minister with. This includes the ability to do
church multi-site, hosting an internet campus, incorporating media and
the arts into services, video production and many other treats.</p><p><strong>Q&A Time</strong> – Every session is based around what
you want to know about, so bring your questions and be ready to help
answer questions others might have. Questions about how Gateway “does
church” can be explored during the facility and ministry tours, as well
as questions you might have about how others are meeting the challenges
your ministry is facing.</p><p><strong>Fellowship</strong> – meet your peers from other area churches<img title="More..." src="http://austintech.org/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif" alt=""></p><p><strong>PLEASE RSVP</strong> if possible and let us know what areas

<h2>About <a href="http://austinTech.org">austinTech.org</a>:</h2><p>We are a loosely organized group of Church Technical people from
churches all over central Texas who meet several times a year to help
each other out, share ideas and get to know others who do what you do.
This is a great place for church tech staff and volunteers, from all
levels and backgrounds, to gather and share what they know and to learn
how they can go the next step in their ministry. We only grow if you
will reach out and invite someone! If you know of someone in the
technical ministries at another church, don’t assume they already know
about this meeting! Get a hold of them and bring them with you!<br>
Over the years this group has blessed a lot of church media & tech
volunteers and helped many people improve their ministry thru the
learning, encouragement and ideas that have come about in these
meetings and we want to see that continue. To help facilitate this we
desire to have monthly meetings:<br>
• Meetings / fellowships will be held every month on the last THURSDAY or FRIDAY of the month.<br>
• We are going to incorporate more training and new product sessions
into every meeting where possible. We will be inviting in Manufactures
and reps to show us equipment and tools that we can use in our
ministries, offer training sessions thru manufactures as well as
outside consultants, trainers and media ministry leaders.<br>
• We will only have church facility tours at some of the meetings,
other meetings will be much more focused on training and equipment.<br>
• Will will try to have something for everyone covering as many
areas of church media and technology as possible – Audio / Video /
Lighting / Projection as well as graphic arts and other areas.<br>
Watch for more emails about these events – if you haven’t already, make
sure your email address is registered at <a href="http://austinTech.org">austinTech.org</a> (sign up for
the email list), let other you know who might be interested know about
these meetings (go ahead, forward them this email right now!) and mark
your calendar now and plan on attending.</p>
