There are no requirements for artistic talent! Special construction sessions are scheduled in the weeks prior to Easter and Christmas musicals.
Sound Technicians
Coordinator: Dave Thornburg
If you enjoy fiddling with knobs on a sound system or understand the use of electronics, this is the job for you! Technicians are trained in operation of all the equipment used in worship services. They serve each month by running the soundboard from the church balcony during worship.
