Spring Cleaning

It's been a busy time at New Hope as we move further into the realm of video. Thanks for your efforts to keep things running during this crazy time. In no particular order here are some stuff that has happened in the last 6 weeks.
Setup
Jason made a suggestion that we setup the recording facing the front of the gym, last week we tried it out and are going to stick with it. This puts everyone in a row facing the front. I think it improves communication, but keep in mind if we talk too much it is easily overheard in the back rows of the seating. Also if you have time lend a hand to get the divider curtain setup, it creates a nice area for us to work in!
