  • 25 Year Anniversary at HEFC

    Ideas are coming along for the celebration. We will be dividing up various areas of the celebration and looking for volunteers to head up specific areas. In this way, we hope to have everyone take part. Our first need is for an A/V team. We need a crew of people who are willing to create a series of up to 5 videos. The videos should be about 3-5 minutes in length. The idea for the videos is that we will learn how people feel about HEFC. Examples for content could be: first impressions, favorite lesson/event, historical background and so on. The possibilities are many. We need creative folks who are willing to film and edit the videos so that for a few weeks before the anniversary we can enjoy them at Sunday services and then have one for the day of the celebration as well. You could use man-on-the-street interviews, video calls with past members, clips from services...Please contact Amanda D if you are interested in being part of this team. Possible roles would include: writing, filming, editor, host, producer, possibly more.
