Earlier in the year... we were informed that we would not be able to use the auditoriums (this past weekend) at either of our new campuses. School sponsored events were scheduled at both locations on the same weekend. WOW! What are the chances?
So... your first thought is... "But that is where we meet every week. Where do we go? All of our equipment is optimized for THOSE spaces. What are we going to do?" Then... after that initial reaction... you just have to get creative and find a way to make it work. That is all CREATIVITY is...problem solving... right? So... after a few of our world famous NewPointe meetings... and many multisyllabic words uttered from our tech guys... a plan was devised. At our Millersburg campus (usually meets in the high school auditorium) the service was moved to the middle school auditorium... and we didn't miss a beat. At our Louisville campus... the service was moved to the CAFETERIA and had what we called "Cafe Church". It was a HUGE hit! We will definitely do it again.
Here are a couple of photos from "Cafe Church" in Louisville:
Check it out: Very cool "unplugged" worship vibe... everyone sitting around tables... unbelievable food at every table... white paper table covers that you could write on with markers (provided)... a big upstage screen for the video elements and the message. It worked! So what could be perceived as a HUGE "set-back" (early on)... turned into a fantastic experience for everybody.
Again... when life hands you lemons... INNOVATE.
