We are looking for additional members that are interesting in helping with technology in 2025. We are losing some of our MVP's this year and we need more volunteers. Worried you don't know enough about technology? It's very, very simple! All you have to do is follow the worship and press the arrow key to change the slide! Let Sarah or Trent know if you are interested so we can get you on the calendar for 2025! You can also "check out the job" any Sunday by touching base with Trent. Free tutorial included! Thank you!
