Hello 1st Pres!

Hello to everyone here at First Presbyterian Church Downtown CDA. My name is Blake Miller. I am the new technology coordinator here at our church. This Sunday will be my sixth week of running sound and live-streaming our worship and service on YouTube. I am very excited to be a part of your church family. I have prayed for God to open doors for me to use my skills and education to serve and honor the Lord. I am very grateful for the opportunity. It has been a pleasure meeting our staff and members of our congregation.

So you shall serve the LORD your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you. Exodus 23:25

Commit your works to the Lord and your plans will be established. Proverbs 16:3

So far, I have had a lot of fun working on our equipment and have gotten fully acquainted with our system. I really enjoy our worship and being able to fine-tune our sound. I have been working on adding new effects for our vocalist, reverb and delay, to create a great live feel. I have modified all audio settings for our YouTube live-stream and will continue striving to create the best optimal sound to worship the Lord. Recently, I have put up new microphones for the piano and vocals. I have been working with Kent, our choir director, to find creative new ways to help our choir perform safely, which I am very excited about. We have an incredible digital mixing board for me to work with and an even better sanctuary for reproducing excellent live sound. The acoustics in the room are spectacular. Not to mention the beauty of the stained glass and peacefulness you feel entering the room. Without a doubt, you can feel God’s presence here!

I am overjoyed with the opportunity to be a part of such a lovely, God-filled, and caring church. I couldn't have asked for a better answer to my prayers. I am looking forward to meeting and building relationships with all of you here at 1st Pres. If anyone has any questions or concerns about our tech and how things have been going, feel free to contact me at [email protected]. I would appreciate any feedback on improvements I can make. I hope you all have a great week, and I pray God blesses each and every one of you. 
​
 
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And in the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Jesus Christ. Philippians 4:6-7
​

 
God’s blessings on you,
Blake

Thank you, Blake, for a well-written blog! I appreciate all the work you put in to improve the webcast viewed live and later, as a diagnostic tool, too.

Insert applause here.
