Sound Room Solitary Confinement
I found this picture of George in the old sound room. Three words describe the room….tight , isolated, outdated. I still cannot believe the change.
George, You have been set free!

We are up and operational! You won’t want to miss Sunday Morning Worship on July 1 when we use it for first time in a service! What a great time to invite a friend!
Day 9-10
Getting really close here! Projector is up and the screen is controllable! Just the computer, the rear-of-house LCD, and a few small things and we’re ready to go! We’re hopeful to be able to bring the system online for testing next week!

Day 6-7
Painting is finished and the new desk has been wired for electricity. The screeen is coming soon!
Day 5
Electrical work is done so we can plug things in again! Painting has begun, and general clean-up has taken place. Want a look?
Aw, you don’t think I was going to spoil it for you, was I? No, you’ll have to see on Sunday for yourself!
Day 4
What a day! Not only was the drywall completed, but the plastic dust covers came down, and the remaining studs and supports were removed! And best of all– the new desk is in! And rewiring has begun!
You should have seen the view–well you will on Sunday, but, oh, to be there in person! Couldn’t be there? No problem–just check the video and pictures below!
Check out the Day 4 video tour (and, yes, the cookie-muncher knew we were filming)!

Day 3
The first coat of drywall is back up and some more of the supports are down. Aaaaand… The new desk is here!
The good news? It looks amazing! Twelve incredible feet of “Is this thing really ours? It looks so good!” The bad news? The drywall isn’t done, so it’s sitting in the foyer instead of the Sanctuary! Here’s hoping that it finds its way to its new home tomorrow–but you’ll have to check back to see for yourself!”

Sound Room Removal
Well everyone the removal of the sound room has began. It was really awesome to walk up to the front doors of the church. Look into the windows and see the windows in the sanctuary. Then today they have everything covered up so you can not see anything again. But everything so far is looking great and I can not wait to see the finished product. We all should just keeping praying for the safety of the workers and no major problems arise.
Thank you all and God Bless,
Ben Nordai
A glimpse of things to come

Tipping Point
The construction for the Multi-media projection project will begin in 10 days!
This has been a long process coming with alot of thought and hard work put into it to bring us to this pivital stage. I look at this momment in the life of Rosedale as a “tipping point”– a point where we can go to the next level of worship and reach a new group of worshippers who are technology-minded to join us. This group of young people knows its way around computers, and are extremely familiar with iPads and smartphones, and is not hung up on doing everything the old way.
I know this 55-year-old pastor is looking forward to experiencing and enjoying the freedom of getting out of our little box and exploring and seeing what is on the other side of the barrier walls we have in place. There are a lot of “New and Improved” products out there today and just because they are labeled new does not make them the correct product. However, the same applies to old and traditional, just because something is labeled safe and secure–oops, old and traditional– does not mean it is the only way to do something. Please be in prayer as we lauch into a new worship experience and please also be in prayer for how this new technology might reach someone that you know.
In Luke 17, Jesus is speaking to His disciples about sin, faith, and the duty we have as belivers. Jesus makes such a plead to them that they realize that without His help that they cannot do it. In verse 5, they ask the Lord to “increase our faith”. Jesus responds back that it is not about increasing their faith, but excercising the faith that they already have. It is not about more faith; it is about better faith! As we move into this new and exciting time, let’s trust the Lord to move on the hearts of His people and take us to a new level of love for the Lord.
Living exciting times together,
Pastor Tony
Rosedale’s Projection System — Coming Sooner Than You Think!
Two weeks.
Two weeks?
Two weeks!
Yes! We’re delighted to announce that major construction for our Video Projection System is due to begin the week of May 21! Construction should be completed by the end of the work week. In the time leading up to the 20th, the screen, projectors, and cabling will be installed; but this will have minimal impact on service activities at Rosedale.
We hope you share in our excitement on this project and understand that we want to do a kick-off with as many people present! As such, we’ll be officially ‘launching’ the system on Sunday, July 1. You won’t want to miss it!
So, if you have any love for the current ‘sound room’, I suggest you give it a great big hug some time between now and when you leave service on the 20th–because its days are literally numbered (12 as of this writing, not that I’m counting).
Stay focused on the Lord and excited for what He’s doing at Rosedale!
