On the Inside tells the story of the first hanging in the community then known as Berlin and the impact it has on the governor’s new wife. Tonight’s guests include On the Inside director Richard Quesnel and actress Christy Ziss.

By simply looking at one of J. Douglas Thompson’s paintings (http://jdthompson.net/index.html) , one can feel the wind against their face or the texture of the ground—be it stone or earth—under their feet. Doug’s larger-scale paintings—often on canvas or masonite board—depict the textures of the land whether it’s found along the north shore of Lake Superior, the west coast of Vancouver Island or the high country far above the tree line in the Rockies.
Without sound techs, churchgoers wouldn’t be able to hear the worship music. Without lighting techs, we wouldn’t be able to see the pastor or the worship team. And without computer techs, the words to songs and the sermon PowerPoint presentation wouldn’t appear on the screens. It’s this technical work of many behind-the-scenes staff and volunteers that makes our Sunday worship experience what it is. And these tech-savvy people are constantly honing their skills and learning about the latest equipment and programs available.
