Latest Update
We are pushing ahead like crazy with relationships here in the staff! We have been meeting in large, all-day staff meetings every 6 weeks or so, and then more recently meeting in small groups. It has been great! I have prayed for something like this to happen at Crossroads for a long time now...
The new phone system was fully switched to on April 3rd, 2008. We have been using it for over a month now, and so far, so good. :) Of course, there have been the usual snags and issues along the way, but nothing major, thankfully!
We are getting started in the process of designing and implementing check-in kiosks around the church for children's check-in and our central kiosk in the Family room. We are needing 15+ computers to make this happen, but they need to be newer P4 machines or better to make the experience a good one. If any of you have a lead on getting a bunch of P4 computers for cheap or free, please let me know ASAP.
Finally, I would like to have a get-together BBQ at my house some time in June. Please let me know via email what weekends you are and are not available so that we can find a time that works best for everyone.

Big projects for Feb/Mar
I need to try to get the new phone system fully deployed before the end of this month if possible, along with finishing up running ethernet to certain locations, and installing an intercom system that uses the old phone system wire (I am hoping to get more "handy man" volunteers for this portion of the project - this is likely to extend into March). I know...crazy! Problem is end of Feb is the time I have been spouting for months for completion of the phone system, so I have expectations that are weighing heavily upon me now.
I would like to get an idea of when everyone is available, and what days/times work best for each of you. For instance, some of you may be able to help a couple nights a week, but weekends are out of the question, and vice-versa, so please just email me back when you are usually available to help. As you know, even if you can only help for an hour or two, the Lord can accomplish great things!
In the interest of getting a schedule together quickly, please let me know ASAP what works best for each of you.
Just for your reference, I am out of town this weekend doing the Middle School Camp sound. I am planning on working here on Feb 16th and Feb 23rd (both Saturdays) if I can, but one of those might not work for me. Evenings I could probably be here if arrangements are made are Mon, Tue, and Thu.
You guys are awesome! Thank you so much for all of your help.

Thank you!
It is so cool to see the body of the church serving and giving in the talents that it has among it. Praise the Lord!!
And welcome aboard Tom, it’s good to have you in the group!

IP Change and another member
There are still many small things that need to be wrapped up with this project, and though the VLANs are implemented in the routers, they don't exist anywhere else at this point simply because we ran out of time (after 13 hours, I called it quits on Sat.). I hope to get those deployed in the next week.
Thank you everyone for your prayers and encouragement! The next, even larger project will be to program and deploy the new phones. There are almost 100 of them! I will need as many of you as can help, and it may take several days to get them out there. The good news is we will have the new system fully in place before cutting over, so it doesn't all have to be done in a day. :)
