Video Ministry Highlight
Have you benefited from our live-stream service on Sunday mornings while you were away? Have you shared a link with a friend and pointed them to the archived sermons on the website? Have you been helped by having the Sunday service streamed in another room such as the family center or the kitchen in the past? In one way or another, everyone at New Life has been and has benefited from the hard work of those on the Video Ministry Team.
This ministry, like every other at New Life, exists to exult Jesus and make Him known, and the ways in which this ministry accomplishes that is through the behind-the-scenes inter-workings of the Sunday service and providing availability for many others to tune in from afar. Everything seen on the TV screens and streamed to the internet is controlled by the video ministry.
Often there are many at New Life that cannot always attend each Sunday, and this work provides a way for them to tune in and participate from afar. The service is also recorded and formatted so that the sermon recordings can be uploaded on the New Life website, YouTube, Facebook and more. You may not be aware of this, but even people from other countries are viewing our services. Praise the Lord for this ability to proclaim His Word in ways we never imagined in previous generations.
There are a few ways you can be involved in this ministry. Each Sunday there are two camera operators and a switcher. The two camera operators simply sit in their stations and move the camera to follow the speaker as they move about the room, zooming in and out as needed. This means the camera operator will have to view the service through the camera, since what they see is what is put on the TVs. This is a simple task and does not require any previous experience with cameras.
The switcher role basically watches the two camera feeds plus another computer feed of the slides and videos then clicks to switch between the feeds. This person also monitors the volume level of the service as it is being broadcast out to live-stream. It sounds complicated, but it really isn’t. To serve on this ministry team requires a willing and faithful believer who can remain alert and focused on the service (that’s where the coffee comes in.) Don’t let the sight of all the cables, switches, and lights scare you away. Anyone can learn these roles, and the fruit of these labors go a long way. It would be great to get a few more trained-up in this ministry as regular servers or short notice fill-ins when needed, and perhaps some who would commit for the long haul to help to see this ministry through for years to come.
If you are interested in being a part of serving in the Video Ministry, please call or email Jim Mabee, our Video Ministry leader. You can find his contact information in the Newsletter, or better yet, greet him in person as you can often find him in the video booth Sunday mornings.
