AV Tech Task Force Update
The Task Force has been busy with meetings and individual projects as we prepare to roll out the next phase of our work. We have our surveys ready and now its your turn to tell us about your experiences with church and technology.
Our first survey is available now and is called “What’s Cool”. Since it is the peak of summer, many of you are traveling and experience how other churches use technology. We hope to learn from you about interesting or unique features that caught your attention.

Your input will be invaluable as this Task Force works to prepare a plan to present to church leadership, Council and the congregation for consideration.
Watch for more detailed information as each of these events begin. Stay tuned…….

Pastor Ken's Weekly Bible Study
|
|
Each week, throughout the year, Pr. Ken leads a Bible study on Wednesday mornings, from 11:00am-noon in-person and via zoom. The class discusses the Scripture texts assigned for the forthcoming Sunday worship services. Pr. Ken shares a calendar month of handouts in advance, so that participants can look ahead, and read the comments of Lutheran scholars prior to each session. Each week there is a good mix of lay people, and retired pastors, with each group brining their unique perspectives on life and Scripture – it’s a fun group! Click the button below to join the Bible study via zoom.
