Volunteers Needed to Help with Audio and Video

No experience required. The media ministry and technology team is in need of individuals that can assist with audio or video and cameras during worship and other events at St James.
All tasks are easy to learn regardless of your age! Whether you have never done any of them or are an experienced audio engineer or video producer, your help would be greatly appreciated and welcomed. If you are interested or have questions regarding this opportunity, please email Larry O’Leary <larry@stjamesglencarbon.org> or contact the church office.
The Altar Guild is in need of volunteers!
