Big series sometimes need big sets – a visual look that will grab people’s attention and perhaps show up on social media [which is in fact a passive invite to church]. A set – like the one in this photo – can be striking, and can really add a lot, especially in the area of helping the message to be memorable [people are visually based]. However, it takes a lot to make these looks happen, and – if they occur every weekend – people will simply get used to them and they will no longer be special.
Build some breathers in, for both your production people and your congregation. Change up your stage looks with easy setup options for one-ofs – save the big sets for longer series. The scaled-down set may simply be risers, or even just instruments, for a week or two. Think of it as a palate cleanser for the eyes…
