This weekend, I had another opportunity to serve for an event that Rock Harbor helped to facilitate. The event was called Worship Central. It was founded by Tim Hughes to help equip worship leaders in local churches in their ministry. The conference covered everything from musicianship to theology as well as offered a number of mini-workshops participants could go to. Rock Harbor provided the building space and volunteers for the conference, which I got to serve on the production end of things. Basically, I was in charge of the lighting cues during the main sessions and helped run sound during the mini-workshops. I also ended up being roped in as somewhat of a stage hand - carrying microphones from one place to another, plugging and unplugging stage monitors, and miscellaneous other things.
The conference lasted from Friday to Saturday evening. At certain times during the conference, people would break off into a number of preassigned small groups. We decided to record all of these meetings as well as the mini-workshops. This meant that there were at least 5 rooms with recording decks that needed to be turned on simultaneously. So, part of my job was to make sure that all of them were taken care of in one way or another.
Similar to how I felt at the Sleeping at Last concert, I enjoyed being a part of an event that included other people from outside Rock Harbor. I think it's important for churches to hold events that reach out to their communities, and I think Rock Harbor does an excellent job at that. Only a few weeks ago I was helping provide a wonderful night of music in the heart of Fullerton; now, I'm helping in building up worship leaders in surrounding churches (some even out of state). If I ultimately pursue a career in worship leading, I hope to incorporate this "kingdom-building" mentality into what I do as well.
