Who's that on the Sound Desk?

This is the Production Control Room at Primeira Igreja Batista (First Baptist Church) Campus Centro (Downtown Campus), São José dos Campos. Yes, and that's me (Mike) at the PA Desk!

We've been attending the English Language Service on Sunday mornings for a while now. They've been asking for volunteers for various ministries, and I mentioned my past Production Team experience at Holland Road. So yesterday (Sunday 13th Nov) was the first morning on the sound team. 

Since the band do their practice at 8.00 in the morning, we had to start at 7.30. It went very well, and they were very happy to have extra help as the PA team is very stretched with another service at the main campus at the same time.

PIB is often asking for musicians too, and there is also a chance that Lou and Josh will be able to help out with their musical talents, either in the main band or maybe in a youth band. It's all in the planning stages at the moment, but Josh wasted no time and sat strumming along with the band during the rehearsal.

The people attending the English Language service are a mixture of Brazilians wanting to practise their English, and also native English speakers. There are old, young, families, couples and singles. The pastor would like to offer Sunday School for the children, which is something Nélia may be able to help with in the New Year. 

So there may be a Sunday to come where the whole Leal family is serving at PIB English Service …
