Please Note
Please pray for this event, for the bishop elects and the bishops who conduct this service; we want to experience God’s presence and blessing as He anoint the next spiritual leaders of our church. Also, pray for good weather, for the live web streaming and the team working behind this broadcast.
This is our first attempt to broadcast a church event live thru web. Broadcast can be interrupted due to power failure (we will have a backup generator), broadband access and bandwidth issues, equipment failure etc. If and when interrupted, team will do everything to fix and continue our broadcast. We will update you as we resolve these issues during the event. Suppose if the DV camera got some issue (the connection between the DV cam and PC goes out), then we need to close the control panel of ustream and then reopen it...Depending upon connection speed this might take 1-2 minutes...So don't get panic or frustrated...(We're trying our best to make sure the connection won't go off in the middle). Please be patient.
If successful, we are planning to broadcast important event of our church in the future (general convention messages, youth camp messages etc.), with the approval of our church leadership. Stay tuned for further e-mail alerts.
