Done Sundance Done Cannes Dungog!!

This coming weekend brings on the increasingly popular 'Dungog Film Festival' in the rural Hunter Valley [dairy country]! An aussie film enthusiast, the local james Theatre and some creative business folk have conspired in recent years to set this up as 'the event' to draw people, commerce and energy into town.
Matthew Newton brings a tribute this year to the late Bud Tingwell through the unveiling of his last work in 'Three Blind Mice'!!
Of course I'm sorry if you can't fly around the world to be here... or even drive a few hours... so stay tuned for highlights!!

On related matters though, what does this event have to offer our efforts to join God's mission in the world...?
Is there a Festival each church could be a partner in to contribute to their community
What worship theme, style or other event might people find interesting
Who, what, where, how and when could we serve
Hmmmm, what would attract a gaggle of local celebrities besides free grog and clean mountain air...

This and many more questions!!

Worship Unplugged # 58 Tracing Artwork

Here's an idea I found looking at clips and ideas for a Camp theme of 'Telling Stories'

The story was about a community building project using the histories of notable local figures from the neighbourhood in question but one way the people participated was to trace an artists black and white portrait outline projected onto the community space wall using an overhead projector [a data projector would work]!! They seemed to start with the black outline and then add colour later...
People stood in front and obscured parts of the picture but only as they worked on the part they could see...
I imagine callico or white cloth banners, painted mdf sheets or the whole youth centre wall adorned with relevant artwork or mural!!
As the project unfolded there was a buzz or energy as people met each other, talked about what they were doing and the the story of the picture they were drawing!!
