Stage Design: Battlefield

We’re tackling the subject of purity at In Focus Church this month and the series title is, “Battlefield: The Battle for Purity in a Sex-Crazed World.” I wanted to stay away from the traditional camo/army/military look that you automatically associate with the word, “battlefield.” The fight for purity is every day and everyone is in it. We incorporated metal pipes with some tattered flags (burning them was the most fun). We then took Wildfire Luminescent Paint (UV paint) and painted the series graphic on our small stage risers as well as a phrase on the front of our stage. Add in some blacklights and it really pops; I was very pleased with how the effect turned out. I think everything turned out better than anything we hoped for. I love my team and the hard work (and many hours) they put in last week. We had a big crew that worked their butts off. Enjoy the pics (click to enlarge).

Stage Design: Grey Matter

This stage design was fairly simple as far as concept but took a great team of hard working volunteers to pull it off. For the squares, we just used spray painted foam board and mounted it on conduit. Add some truss, new lights, and bake for 30 minutes. Let cool before serving. Enjoy!

Sex Talk

The title refers to our new series at In Focus that started yesterday and it was awesome! Our attendance had an increase of 20% and it’s only the first Sunday! Here are some pictures of our stage. I really like the set up of this one. I took my inspiration from the LED spheres at Coldplay and from another church. We don’t have the budget for ChromaSpheres so we ordered some paper lanterns, set them on top of truss and the rest is history.

I love my job.
