Hey guys! Here’s a really brief update on the situation.
God the Father: Stig
Angels: Jane, Alison, Christy, Fish, Joy, Yuki
Jesus: Henry
Demons: David (Panda) Liu Lo , Tim. G, Lawrence, Rowan, Jim, Kevin
Satan: William Pham!
Warm welcome to William Pham! He will be acting as ‘Satan’.
Wen, Yan Tao, Gracelia are offering their assistance to Rowan in stage designs. Please contact him through for updates on this topic.
The angels are meeting at church this Friday 20th February 2009 to work out the dance parts for the play. This will be done under the leadership of Jane/Alison.
Shout out to Nam Ju for designing and preparing the angel costumes in a very short time. Thank her when you’ve got a chance! =]
The play is happening early April which falls on the regular Friday YAF night. The arrangement of the night will be: Praise/Worship session, clearing of the stage, Easter Presentation, finishing off with the Word or a testimony.
Advance notice: Henry and myself will be absent from the 28th of February to the 18th of March for the mission trip to Indonesia & the G12 Conference. Stig & Rowan will be absent from the 28th of February till approximately 10th of March returning from the Indonesian mission trip. Lawrence & Su Pei both will be absent 10th of March to 17th of the same month for the G12 Conference held in Singapore.
What’s this mean? The Easter Presentation team has about 1 week and a half of fine tuning to get it right before we hit stage.
Satan + Demon practice? The parts for the demons are quite simple: so I’m looking into demons and angels getting together sometime next week.
We have confirmation with Pastor Anne and yes, we will be getting a smoke machine to set the atmosphere of the play. Thanks to Su Pei for investigating the different machines and prices!
We have looked into getting a live video feed of our presentation to the projector that. May have a cameraman on stage doing recordings.
By the way, if possible try have the last week of March free - preferably Wednesday & Sunday nights (maybe Saturday night too). We’ll have a full costume presentation and will be getting everyone to come. Stage & Cosmetics and Props. Team are to be there to organize and see how much time (fast/well) and what to do before & on stage prior to actual performance.

I better write this down; after the overseas trip my availability changes from daytime to Wednesday & Sundays nights. If necessary I'll try to get more time off (at least one extra night) by changing my work from part time to casual. Cool.
hey aaron,
thanks for your sms and the posting here.
i chatted with joy about the banner~ we aren't exactly sure of the details, but jane mentioned that anne has a black fabric (left from christmas play which was to cover the 2 boards). so are we gonna use that, if so, is the size gonna be alright?
few things i need to ask you is:
1. what is the colour you want for the words on the jesus banner?
2. is the banner gonna be written with 'jesus' or 'jesus - the champion'?
3. what is the size of the banner gonna be?
i may also need to discuss with you how can we hang the banner on the organ?
1 thing i do suggest is that, you let me know about the fabric and size, so that i can get the material for the 'words on the banner' by fri. since you said you will be free these days, perhaps after the dance practices on fri morning, i can stay and start doing the banner with joy and you, or whoever wants to help out ^^
p.s. on sunday, rowan mentioned about making a paper marche kind of rock for the background..so who do we give the newspaper or magazine to??
p.p.s. with my availability after the holiday-my uni timetable is pretty packed. so starting from 2nd march: my time available will be tuesday (night); wed(afternoon-night); thurs (night); fri (afternoon); sat & sun should mostly be free
thanks for everything aaron! =)
ciao
Hey there Christy thanks for your response!
The black banner used for the Christmas play that Jane mentioned has been agreed upon. I'm not too sure how big exactly it is but according to what I heard I think it's good enough!
Colour for the words suggested by the event members where either silver or gold. We also agreed on 'Jesus the Champion' but if space is an issue having JESUS itself is powerful enough.
"what is the size of the banner gonna be?"
I'm assuming your asking how big you want the text to be. Since the black fabric is the base for the text "Jesus the Champion" Just large enough for people seated at the sound desk to see I guess. Yeah I think we've got some hooks attached to the organ from last Christmas holding the banner up. We could use that. I'll have a look at that with you this Friday.
"1 thing i do suggest is that, you let me know about the fabric and size..."
-Hmm.. the thing is I haven't seen the banner so I really can't give you exact measurements. If necessary we could come to church one day and have a look at it together, or I can do it myself. What do you think? Have you seen the black fabric? If you have I trust you'd have a better judgement than myself. And yes, more than happy to help out doing the banner coming Friday! :)
Yeah pass Rowan the newspapers & magazines coming weekend. He's in charge of this area as its something he's very familiar with hehe.
Bit late I'll hit bed now. Any questions/suggestions please by all means leave a comment. =] Nights!
hey aaron,
thanks for answering my questions so efficiently ^^
i agree with you that the best thing to do with getting the size of the banner will be measuring it on friday; then we can also decide on the sizes/font of the texts, and whether or not we can fit the word 'jesus the champion' or just 'jesus' on it.
my rough idea is to get that done by friday, and also to print out the text on A4 paper. then on fri afternoon, i can go to spot light to get the silver/gold fabric for the texts, and then bringing it back at yaf. on saturday, since nlcc is having the garage sale, i may be able to spend some time tracing out the words, cutting fabric, and start pinning the words on the fabric. probably need to discuss with you more on exactly how we can hook the banner on the organ without wasting much of the fabric. we will confirm that later, you agree?
God bless you.
thanks once again and have a blessed day!
hey Christy sounds fine to me. we'll both have a look at the organ in the sanctuary and figure a means to hold the cloth up. Thanks for your response! have a great week ahead :) GBU
