Looking at the picture in the link Mike sent, I'm thinking the percussion equipment alone would take up about half that stage. (Unless this is a concert where we wouldn't have many percussionists.) 

I would love to be indoors, too, but at the same time, I don't remember it being miserable playing outdoors in previous years for Fourth of July. The audience always seemed fine, too. They still have the large covered patio, right?

I don't think we will fit on the stage in the Sanctuary unless we get really creative with the space and maybe take some pews out.  Here is a photo: https://www.musicselection.fm/news/259-allen-heath-brings-it-all-together-at-the-unity-church-of-the-hills-in-austin,-texas.html (Scroll down)

We've played there on the patio at least 3 times around July 4th. Are these newer people speaking up?  Or have they become more sensitive to the heat?
I would certainly prefer to play inside, but I just don't see us fitting in the Sanctuary.

 Ellen, 
We have gotten some pretty firm feedback from our volunteer leadership team about having the concert outdoors in the heat, so we are considering having your group perform in the Sanctuary instead. You could park by the back entrance and enter backstage as the service concludes and set up onstage as the congregation exits the sanctuary and gets lunch in the foyer and friendship hall, then begin the concert when you are ready. 
The doors between Sanctuary and foyer will be propped open so everyone can hear, then they can make their way back into the Sanctuary for the remainder of the concert when they have finished eating. Will this work for you?

We are already ONE, but we imagine that we are not, and what we have to recover is

our original UNITY. What we have to BE is what we are. ​
