Check out what this church of around 50 people did for their stage this Christmas. Stevan Sheets from Shippensburg First Wesleyan in Shippensburg, PA and his group turned a few sketches into a great Christmas set.
They used borrowed furniture, a custom-built fireplace ($15 in materials), and wrapped gifts under the tree to transport the congregation into a Christmassy living room scene.
If you put the outdoor scene into a window frame (frame as part of the projected image). Looks like home. (OK, my home's a mess).
Love that you featured a small church like this. Good work on the shout out and the church's stage work.
I just wanted to commend you for taking the leap. It is good to see a church without an unlimited tech budget showing us how we can design environments too! There are far more small churches than huge ones!
