Jonathan twittered Thursday afternoon: "Church Requel tech gear load #1 is here!" And he posted this picture off of his phone camera. I can't believe that this is finally happening! We've been saving up for 9 months to be able to launch Church Requel this autumn. A month ago we were still trying to find the place for Church Requel to meet. Once we finalized the Mid-Ohio location, we then had to decide what equipment we could afford. We invested mostly in sound equipment, speakers, a mixer, microphones, cords, and a piano keyboard. Tech equipment and/or music equipment not making the cut included lighting and the electronic drum set.
I remember a day when I would have loved to be there to open up all the boxes. After all, I love tech! But I'll be most thankful for Jonathan and his team to enjoy those honors. These days, between advertising, a wedding this weekend, children's ministry planning, and sermon writing... I just don't have the luxury of time. But I am immensely grateful to Jonathan, who volunteered valuable expertise and to DRM Productions, who allowed us to purchase the gear at cost.
