Creative Chaos // 16
Here is my contribution to the Ragamuffin Soul Creative Chaos #16.
This is a video we used to intro a message in our “Running On Empty” series @ Grace Church Gulf Coast. We got the idea from The Late Show w/ David Letterman. Our pastor didn’t show up at church at all before service and at the end of the video he comes running into the church/school, where we meet, out of breath. It was a great way to kick off the message. Hope you enjoy. Please comment!

that is awesome . . . must have been hard to preach after all that running . . . but it is hard to live for God when we are “Running on Empty”

man. great vid idea. kinda reminds me of one time when i was younger and went to BigStuf and Lanny Donoho exited the building with a ‘live camera’ in hand and chronicled his miniature trip. really got the audience involved.
might have to go to GCGC website to check the msg out. the vid peaked my interest!

We did this once for a sermon on “Taking out The Trash”. We prefilmed it of course–but our pastor got up during the announcement and his wife interuppted him that he had forgotten to take out the dirty diapers at home. He ran out the back door and we started the film. We shot him speeding down the road-running into his driveway–taking out the trash and back to the church. We had people looking out the door to see when he was coming back. They really believe it was a live shot. (It wasn’t even shot at the same time of day). Anyway–it worked. Love it-your pastor wore shorts!!!
