We're looking for an electronic drum kit, hoping to keep costs down while still getting decent sound.

Those of you who use electronic drums in worship, what set do you have, and how do you like it?

Also, if you recommend a certain dealer or a place to get good deals, let me know that, too.

This one's a bit off topic but I'm trying to confirm a suspicion:
Those who have more than 1 service on Sunday mornings, I need to know:
Of those 2 services, at which do your older members normally attend?
Thanks.

Our church website runs strangely slow. By slow, I mean that there's always a 30-second delay before it loads. I checked with my host, and they said it's not a server problem. Something in Drupal is running slow.

I disabled all modules I could live without, cleared caches, and tried different Performance settings. Nothing. YSlow just confirmas what I already know.

http://shepherdoftheridge.org Any suggestions? We actually left Dreamhost over this, thinking it was their servers, but it may be on our end. I ran a repair over out database just in case as well.

As usual, I can't make Advent services due to my kids having weeknight school concerts, and my church actually insists that my family is a higher priority. In the past, we've had elders lead the services and read a sermon I'd write.

This year, we decided to not have a service, since the elders won't be able to lead this year. Instead, since we always have meals beforehand, that some kind of devotional video on our projector screen would be an acceptable alternative. Anyone have a suggestion for a 3-part 30-40 minute video series that I could show?

In the near future, we're going to be moving to a staff system where very often, nobody will be onsight to answer phones, so we want to use some kind of call forwarding system to forward calls to either the secretary or my mobile. I'm wondering what reasonably priced systems are out there that would work for this.

At this point, we need especially the following:
1. The final recipient would be able to see, via caller ID, who's calling.
2. Be able to transfer the call from one mobile to another.
