How do you deal with a week off from your Sunday morning service? Thank goodness that our small campus has a talented young lady who plays guitar and sings. She has filled in for me once before and handled the transition week between the old worship leader and myself. Getting to lead worship as a high school student is a great experience. Our church can be very responsive in their singing when they want to be, they really harness the spirit and make leading worship easy. This is my hope and prayer for the church this weekend as I am away.
Recently we've decided to record our services so that our pastor's sermons are online. The mother ship campus already does video and it is something we are considering. Unfortunately at this time all we have is a go-pro camera, and as cool as it would be, we aren't filming our services while jumping out of a plane or white-water rafting the rapids. Just like everything I've been trying to do in this position, I am trying to make sure we are able to walk before we start running.
I first wanted to make sure we could get at least a decent sound without video. We got the audio recorded via the mixer which has a USB out that we send to the computer and record the whole service with audacity. Later in the week we cut the audio for just the sermon. For the message and spoken word it sounds good and does exactly what it needs to do. Free software plus one cord makes the set up a breeze. Eventually I think that the goal is to add some video and a room mic to pick up the feel of the room.
Any small churches out there recording their services via video or just audio? Are any of you worship leaders responsible for recording the service? I enjoy the task! Any tips for a church in its infancy of service recording?
Have a blessed day!
With God's love and peace.
