Since launching the Flannel Player last month, Flannel has been building up a "pile" of free tickets for use by those who'd like to view NOOMA films but who are unable to puchase Player tickets or DVDs. After giving away hundreds of these free tickets, the pile is now running low, and we'd like to partner with you to build it back up.

For each DVD purchased at the Flannel Store during the month of June, Flannel will add one free ticket to the "pile" on our customers' behalf. We've created a page where you can view a map showing the approximate location of those who've given free tickets and those who've utilized the free tickets:

http://player.flannel.org/map

A few hours after each DVD purchase and a few minutes after each free ticket redemption, a new pin will appear on the map.

If you've found the teachings in these films valuable, you could make a one-time donation where you can specify that your gift be used to replenish the pile of free tickets to the Flannel Player:

Please join with us to make sure that NOOMA films continue to be easily accessible at no direct cost to those who might need these teachings the most.

The Flannel Staff

Thanks for being a friend of Flannel, the nonprofit ministry that makes NOOMA films. Your support makes it possible for us share the way of Jesus in new and relevant ways and to achieve our vision of being a catalyst for other highly creative people who have the same desire. We’re excited to announce three new events at Flannel:

New Flannel Store.
NOOMA.com has become http://Flannel.org. The new site boasts an easy-to-navigate store, high definition streaming of NOOMA films, and preview and behind-the-scenes video clips.

Economic Stimulus Package.
Through the end of April you can purchase the full 23-film set of NOOMAs including the NOOMA music CD for only $175, a $240 value (a savings of $65).

High Definition Premiere.
NOOMA Corner | 023 Rob Bell is scheduled to begin shipping on April 6, 2009. Through the end of April you can preview this full-length film in high definition for FREE.

The site is brand new and there may be some bugs - please let us know if you encounter any problems but we are now open and ready to take orders if you'd like to make a purchase. Also, we’d love to have your feedback, suggestions, and comments. E-mail us at feedback@flannel.org.

Thanks again for your support!

Orders will ship on or before June 6th.

For a limited time only, all DVDs purchased at TheGodsArentAngry.com will ship with an exclusive CD single featuring the song, "€œDawn In The Deep" written and recorded by Daniel James and Brie Stoner for The Gods Aren'€™t Angry Tour.

Subscribe to the The Gods Aren't Angry podcast and view a new clip every week through June 6th.

For more information, please visit TheGodsArentAngry.com Or join the discussion on The Gods Aren't Angry Facebook page.

A Facebook user named Nick Schonlau asked about the music in recent NOOMA films. We work with a variety of musicians and arrangers to create the music for our films. Brie Stoner is still involved - and there are some folks we're working with (on the music for Everything Is Spiritual for example) who wish to remain anonymous.

Look for a new NOOMA Soundtrack album covering the films we've released since Volume 001 sometime after we release NOOMA 020. For more information about Volume 001, visit NOOMA.com.
