    NAME The Midnight Gospel - Sunday Service for August 23, 2020.mp3 DATE September 1, 2020 DURATION 26m 26s START OF TRANSCRIPT [00:00:00] The following is a message from Wellspring's congregation. [00:00:06] Good morning, Wellspring's. It's good to see you today. I recognize I might look a little bit odd, so hold on one one one second. One second. [00:00:19] Let me let me fix this up. There we go. [00:00:26] Better, isn't it? You're probably more used to me this way. I'm more used to me this way. Thanks for indulging my goofiness. Today is for a purpose. It's that the show I'm going to talk about for today's Spiritfllix series, Spiritflix this summer series that we do on the stories that we watch on our screens and the meanings that we find in those stories. It's a weird show. It's a very weird show. And the kind of upside down that I presented with upside down, obviously being popularized by stranger things, stranger things does not have a thing on the show for today. The Midnight Gospel when it comes to the oddness and the weirdness department. And so before I get into talking about the Midnight Gospel, I wanted to share with you a story that kind of sets up what I'm going to talk about today. It goes back 13, maybe 14 years ago, right around the time actually within a year or two of when Wellspring's was launched in 2007.

The 2021 graduating class of The School of Toronto Dance Theatre’s Professional Training Program is pleased to share with you these unique creative projects choreographed with the virtual and the stage in mind.

Undaunted, these creators have met unimagined obstacles with ingenuity, readiness, and defiant creative energy. They have invested their imaginations and acquired skills into crafting these captivating proposals: concise, inventive experiments in form, concept, physicality, and point of view. Expressing their visions through the camera’s lens, a new imagining unfolds. Adeptly produced by the second year class, Here in sonder illuminates and celebrates what it might be possible to achieve creatively and in collaboration with others. We are grateful to faculty, staff, and the student body for engaging with and supporting Creative Process activities. Very special thanks to Patricia Fraser, Christopher House, and guest Creative Process mentors, Heidi Strauss https://adelheid.ca/ and Yvonne Ng https://princessproductions.ca/tiger/.
