10 magnificent minutes and a family double feature

So I popped in at the church for a couple of hours this morning to wrap up some loose ends and start working on our next event for Family Ministries. I put together this image for "10 Magnificent Moments", the part of each Sunday service when a member of the congregation is invited to briefly share their story or speak on a topic that's relevant to the community. Bryan and I will both be doing this next week (Bryan in the morning, me in the evening - I told him not to use up all of our good stories!), and were discussing yesterday that we don't think that everyone in the church knows that this is something that we do on a regular basis, let alone why we do it. Though I'm definitely not skilled in the realm of graphic design, I'm a big proponent of branding, so maybe the regular use of this image will help explain to the audience why the nervous person is up on stage trying to keep their thoughts from floating away.

We're both pretty stoked (I know that word died in the '90s; I'm bringing it back) about our next Family Ministries event, a double feature, fish-and-chips-included movie night at the church in April. We were hoping to show Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 3-D, which comes out on video here in early April, but a call to the distribution company nipped that idea in the bud. Apparently they don't allow public screenings until the movie's been out on DVD for a few months in order to keep DVD sales up. That's understandable, even expected. I seriously doubt that Sony Pictures is intentionally thwarting the work of the Lord by denying our request for screening rights; if anything, they're giving us a chance to practice this good advice from 1 Peter 2:

"Be careful to live properly among your unbelieving neighbors. Then even if they accuse you of doing wrong, they will see your honorable behavior, and they will give honor to God when he judges the world. For the Lord’s sake, respect all human authority—whether the king as head of state, or the officials he has appointed. For the king has sent them to punish those who do wrong and to honor those who do right."

So we'll find something else to show. Any suggestions? Ice Age 3-D?
