It comprises recording with 3-4 cameras,  recording the music, editing the video,  editing the sound, and lots and lots of time. This is our official shout out to anyone who’d like to help with the Conference and/or to get involved with ministry. If you are in college looking for intern credits or just a person interested in film, we can introduce you to our special friend, Joseph Hoang (Anh Vu), get some experience. Facebook message (UnderSky Ministries) or Twitter DM (#USMinistries).

Hopefully by the end of April or early May:

  • Publish the two new tracks with video: You Are the Way (unofficial title) and Kingdom Come. They are “finished”; they just aren’t “finished.” They’ll be finished when they are finished.
  • We’re planning with Paul from WORD and Paul from VYC 3 to put on a rally (mini) before the rally (Conference) to give a lot of those people still deciding whether to come a sneak peek into what VYC 3 will be like. This will be around June 6th. Worship, speaker, food, free stuff, energy, Holy Spirit,  and all that good stuff.
  • Get the Twitter finalized on UnderSky.org.
  • April 24th is A Call 2 Serve (Fr. Ben’s ministry) at the VCC. Check the Event Schedule for more information.

  • Retreats, and more retreats – We just finished our first batch of Confirmation retreats for some local parishes. We’ll probably be finishing up the last of them next week. 
  • Conference – we’re playing at the Vietnamese Youth Convention in July. There’s a lot going on here. We’re working on the tech and liturgy committees. It gets pretty intense month to month planning out sound systems, lighting, etc…  What’s more exciting is that we’re working on writing music for the conference like the theme song and what not. We’re working on some recordings next week.
  • Music – yes, we’re working on music. The challenge to write high quality music higher than any other time that I would expect.  Especially worship music these days. It’s hard to write something that you feel people would enjoy not only listening to, but praying to. That’s a lot of pressure. Secondly, it’s even harder to like what you write. There’s a lot of songs that go unrecorded. If anything we’ve been cranking out psalms for Mass which puts us in the practice of melody fishing. Preparing for the conference is particularly motivating as well. We’re trying to think positive. We’re pretty set on releasing a few songs this year. 
  • What else is up in ’09? Figuring out what’s actually going on on LOST.
