If you are interested in technology and can understand its importance in the quality of worship, perhaps you’d like to work in the CAVE (Christian Audio Visual Experience). The CAVE is also known as the sound booth and is located at the back of the sanctuary. It also kind of looks like a cave, which is where the name came from initially. I’m excited to train everyone who is excited about this aspect of ministry and can meet the following criteria:
- Interested in learning about the soundboard, light board or computer software to project lyrics to the screen;
- Think you can help with at least one service a month; and
- Are at least 12 years old.
If you would like to volunteer in our C.A.V.E. please contact Amanda Hinthorn at ahinthorn@sunprairieumc.org
