Needed: Volunteers to serve in the Sound Ministry. As our music ministry is growing in many exciting ways, the Sound Team Ministry is in dire need of volunteers who have a desire to serve our God. As a Sound “Tech”, we are primarily responsible for setting up and taking down the stage, and operating the sound system for rehearsals, sound checks, services and special events. Prior experience is desired but not necessary. An orientation and ongoing training will be provided. Sound techs work in pairs and your commitment will usually be to serve at one to two services per month, plus a rehearsal and sound check for each service. So, if you have a love for music and a servant’s heart, please contact Pat Daly, Sound Team Leader, at 518-852-6883, or at
[email protected] for more information.
