setup
white light can be made by combining red, green and blue light, so we will set up four spaces; the central one white [the combined godhead], and three others red [jesus], green [father] and blue [spirit].
central space: white light/rubilev 'trinity' icon on computer screen for contemplation/white beads [see below].
three rooms:
spirit room: jonny's pentecost tape [jonny]/large electric fan [mark?]/fire or spirit video [mark]/blue lighting
jesus room: the driftwood cross hung using red washing line/'jesus' blood never failed me yet' soundtrack [mike]/tv+laptop with jesus face images [jonny]/red lighting
father room: bring photos of yourself as a child, or your children. no parents please [everybody]/green lighting/the rest we'd like justin to do around the theme of god as parent and creator [justin]
also in each room:
single colour print of the rubilev icon: one of the red component of the image only in the red room, one of the green component only in the green room, the blue component in the blue room. [jonny to scan and do the image manipulation/printing]
pieces of paper saying 'how do you relate to the spirit/jesus/father?' and 'when you leave this room take a thread with you' [steve collins]
each room has a different coloured thread - people take these back to the central space and plait them together as a friendship bracelet symbolising the trinity. in the central space are white beads which symbolise ourselves included in the life of the trinity. [anna to buy threads and beads, cut into lengths before service]

A Trinity service. White light = red + green + blue. |
Green - God the Father. The material is all about God as parent. The photos are of the team as babies. |
Red - God the Son. |
Blue - God the Holy Spirit. People are listening to a dramatised reading of Acts 2, the day of Pentecost. A video loop of flames is playing. It ran out when no-one was looking and Marilyn Monroe appeared on the TV. |
White - the central station. The Rublev icon of the Trinity. |
Coffee and donuts at the end of the service. |
