New Cameras
New Technology
New Volunteers
Last Sunday we used our new AVL (Audio, Video, & Lighting) System for the first time and heard from many about how it enhanced our worship service. We hope you enjoyed seeing new views of your spiritual home and could hear more clearly. If you experienced viewing problems, email us at support@stmikeschurch.com so we can help. Did you know we need 4 volunteers each week to run this new intricate system? We've have already starting training volunteers but we need more help to make sure we are fully covered moving forward. If you have an interest in technology and a desire to help our services and events run smoothly and successfully we would love to have you join our team! Please contact Elise at elise@stmikeschurch.com to get involved.
