Chair On Stage

Note: This being the main chair. Some churches will have other chairs or pews on the stage, sometimes to the side. Some churches have three main chairs grouped together, I have not sat in a chair on stage in one of these churches.

You will notice that the first time was in February of 2012, but after two times in February there is a break, and I do not sit in a chair again on stage until November of that year. Then you will notice a similar break in 2013. In 2014 I only sat in a chair on stage in February and April of that year. I do not seat on a chair on stage at anytime in 2015.
