Technical Arts Picnic Review

For those of you who missed it, this past Sunday was the "Christmas In July" party. We all had a lot of fun eating a lot of food. Thank you to everyone who came and prepared a dish. We also talked about the future of Technical Arts. Several priorities were brought up that need to be improved or addressed;

1. Awareness of Technical Arts - People need to know what Tech Arts is and what is it's purpose; what do we do. People who are regular attendees are still surprised to find we record our services on video every week. I will be writing a full page for the church newsletter this month, and putting copies of the Technical arts Brochure on the media cart, and at the entrance to the booth.
2. More and expanded training - I challenged volunteers to step out in faith and learn new tasks, and to make efforts to improve the skills they have. Beginning immediately, I invite anyone, especially those who are scheduled this Sunday, to come to Choir rehearsal Wednesday at 7:30 pm. You can try out roles you haven't before, and practice new techniques. I will bee here every week.
3. Fundraising/Equipment - We are at a kind of ceiling right now with the equipment we have, but I can see that all of you have grown immensely, and now feel limited by the gear we have. I haven't run anything by leadership, trustees, etc, but I want to meet with anyone who feels called to chair/steer a Fundraiser Committee. Several ideas on how to have one were discussed this past Sunday. Call me or e-mail me if you feel God nudging you to assist with this effort.

New Rotation

There was some confusion at the picnic about the rotation. The new rotation will begin the first Sunday of September (Sept 3, Team B). Current rotation will continue until then. ATTENTION INACTIVE VOLUNTEERS! If you are not currently on a rotation team, please e-mail or call me to join one. We need help. Your commitment is only once every third week.

 

Thank you all for serving!
