Professional Video To be Made In Church On Pentecost, May 27.  At its March meeting, the vestry granted permission for a professional videographer to be present in church during a worship service on one Sunday.  This will take place on Pentecost Sunday, May 27.   Plans are still tentative, but the videographer will likely begin recording from a hidden location near the organ, and then during the service, he will quietly and carefully reposition himself near the back of the church.  He has been instructed to be as unobtrusive as possible.  We beg your indulgence and your cooperation for this one-time event.In addition, the videographer will record youth activities on a Wednesday evening during late April or early May so that our youth program will be highlighted as well.  If you have any questions or comments about this, please call Bill at church or on his cell phone (601-329-3538), or email him at wgstroop@earthlink.net.
