We have recently found a bracelet that was lost in the parking lot. If you believe this could be yours, please call us at (719) 598-3244 or email Elise at [email protected].

AVL Volunteers
We are happy to bring our Sunday worship services right into your home, but it takes a team and we need help!
Each service we need the following technicians:
- 1 Sound Tech for streaming sound
- 1 Sound Tech for sound in the space
- 1 Video Tech to frame and switch camera angles
- 1 Video Tech to follow the service and prepare what camera shot to go to next
- 1 Tech Director to oversee and coordinate all this together
We have an amazing team working hard each Sunday (and more than double-time during Holy Week) but we simply need more help to keep this going moving forward. It takes some time to train in each of these areas, so we'd like to get our next team training so we can give our current team a little breather come summer. And no need to have the knowledge already, we will work to train every volunteer to feel confident in how to run tech for each service. If you have any interest please reach out to Elise at [email protected] to get involved! |
|
Library Book Help
We are looking to re-envision our St. Michael's library to help this become a more active space in our church community. If you have any interest in helping us sort through the books, the space itself, or if you'd like to help design the direction of this space as we work to make better use of it please reach out to us by emailing Elise at [email protected].
