Do you like to twist knobs, turn dials and make pretty graphics?

 Do you have an ear for music? 

Can you stay awake for at least one hour at a time?

 Both the sound crew and the projection team need folks to help out during our services.

 Starting pay is the same as if you have been there for 82 years... (It is equal to that of all volunteers - great blessings!)

Benefits include:

Last minute changes, equipment malfunctions, media files that don't work and most of all .... a great sense of accomplishment when it all comes together.

  If you are interested in volunteering please visit the sound booth before the start of a service.  (but not right before it starts).   Oh, the sound booth is in the balcony...

 
Offer Expires: Sort of like - never.
