Hebrews 4:12 (New International Version)

12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and
marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
К Евреям 4:12 (Slovo Zhizny)
12 Ведь Слово Божье живет и действует, оно острее, чем любой заточенный с обеих сторон меч и проникает в самые глубины нашей
сущности, туда, где проходит граница между душой и духом, до суставов и мозга. Оно судит мысли и сердечные побуждения.

A GREAT MIX STARTS WITH SENNHEISER

“I’ve mixed at Buckhead Church for over seven years, and it’s my job
to make sure the worship services are delivered to thousands with
impressive sound clarity. That’s why I use the Sennheiser 2000 Series
handheld transmitters in combination with Sennheiser dual pattern
condenser e965 capsules for all of our vocals. These mics sound so
great, you hardly need to EQ them at all.” -Dustin Whitt, FOH Engineer

language that today’s culture demands. Having a grasp of creative, well-produced, story-

media world changed the video game? Hear from Buffalo Sabres’ TV director Matt
Gould, Vaughn Street’s Sr. Producer Erik Ticen, California Road Studio’s Josh Myers and
others as we dig into the ups, downs and at times controversial issues of video and the

Jimi Williams Keys to Effective Leadership in a Small Church Andrew’s
You’re not alone! 59% of churches have less than 250 in attendance. 77% have less Chapel
than 500 in attendance. Small churches are in the majority. Many of the challenges
that worship leaders face in the small church are quite unique. *How do I manage
ministry responsibilities with my full-time job and family? * How do I find musicians
for my band? * I need equipment but I have no budget to purchase it. * How do I
manage expectations for the worship ministry? Join veteran worship leader and music
biz professional Jimi Williams for this interactive and encouraging seminar.
Joe Vacanti & Skool of Rock 323
Alan Dusel Most youth ministries greatest struggle with music is often not having enough musicians.
Couple this with the constant revolving door of graduation once a teen gets good
and it can be frustrating. The problem lies with not having a system to develop the
young musicians surrounding you. Skool of Rock is a program that can be used and
adapted in any church to develop your next musicians. We have been using this system
since creating it in 2004 and other people have used it with success. Come learn the
philosophy, then you create your own method. Its the only skool where your teens will
desire more homework.

Stepping into the lights, and telling a redemptive story in an authentic way is perhaps

How do we keep singing God’s praises when life is the pits? And as a worship Center
