I’m happy to announce a new blog I’ve started! (Yes, yet another blog.) Design Arts Today is a blog that was created to help inspire, equip, and develop those interested in growing in their visual and artistic abilities.
Here’s the video Peter made that I mentioned in my last post about setting the stage design for Easter.

I can’t imagine doing all this with a ladder. But the lift did not have wheels, which meant to change each light it meant theoretically the process was supposed to be:
This month I had a blast working with the leadership team on our Christmas Eve services. It was really fun helping to create the drama, video, and tech area, but a major focus on my role was the look and feel of the services.
