Do we ever notice the information on the projection screens during services?  Or listen to the singers/speakers in the sanctuary over the speaker?  Ever wonder what is going on in the nursery while you are in Bible Study or during the service?  These and many other areas of MGBC Ministry need folks to help out..... wonder who turns the lights off at the end of the day?
