Tech Volunteer Needed

If you can operate your mobile phone or know where the space bar is on a computer, then you, too, can be a Tech Volunteer. We need someone to partner up with Eric Blonshine twice a month to operate the audio-visual equipment. Training will be provided. If you're wondering if you can do this…you can! See Pastor Erick for details.
