(S1) BEYOND THE BULLETIN BOARD - PHOTOGRAPHY IN THE CHURCH

A picture is worth a thousand words and this workshop will look at what makes a photo tell a great story. In this hands-on workshop, participants will go over the basics of what makes a good photograph in the morning session, go on a picture taking assignment of the LIFT event, and return for the afternoon session to share their LIFT photos. Participants need to bring their own digital cameras and USB cables. Please note: This is a two-part workshop. Part 1 begins at 10:45 a.m. and Part 2 begins at 1:30 p.m. (A/HS/MS)

Leaders: Pastor Roxi Kringle, a member of the synod’s Connection Building Ministry Team, is very handy with a camera. Assisting her will be Carol Weiser, our synod's recently retired director of communications. Carol knows how to use a computer.
