So like I mentioned in a previous post, the Church sent a camera crew to come and record our ward sacrament meeting. It was really interesting and rather comical.We got there at about 8:25 and there were already quite a few people there. In fact, there were lots of people that decided to make an appearance at this special sacrament meeting. So many people I'd never seen before. One friend mentioned how surprised she was to see some people there at the 9 am sacrament meeting, because she hadn't see them come to the the first 2 hours of church in months. Needless to say, we had a great turnout. The chapel was crammed and the cultural hall was opened up and full. I've never heard our congregation sing so loud and full ever, I could have sworn we were sitting amongst the MoTab.
But before the actual meeting could commence, the Bishop read a legal disclaimer that pretty much said, if you don't want your name mentioned, face shown, voice heard etc, than please leave this sacrament meeting because the recording will be used by the Church for various purposes.
So the meeting commenced, and it was relatively normal. There were cameramen wondering up and down the aisle getting close ups of families helping their children to sit quietly, young men passing the sacrament and the congregation partaking, close ups of the women in the musical number, close ups of the Bishop sleeping- just kidding, he was very alert the whole time. And that was it. It was a great meeting, everyone was excited to be there and was dressed up for the occasion. We were most definitely what the cameramen wanted- a diverse congregation.
If any of this is confusing to you or you want to know more, leave a comment, and I'll send some friends over to your house to explain.

I'm sorry. I will not watch "Passage to Zarahemla" or anything like unto it, just to see you sitting in the congregation. I love you, but that is just asking too much.
Okay, passage to zarahemla wasn't my first choice, but the church doen't really advertise any of their other movies, this was they only thing I could find that wasn't just a list of church movies. But start watching Sunday morning services, and any other church distributed movies.
You forgot to say what your wore. How else will we easily recognize you when we're watching all those church movies?
