Special blessings this year: (accomplishments, commitments or recommitments to Christ, etc.)
Because of faithful givers who provide for our budget, committee members who have knowledge of technology and servant hearts, and additional generous gifts we were able to improve ministry through technology.
We were able to improve the visual / audio in the Multi-purpose area with the installation of a new projector, speakers, and installation of a centrally located visual/audio platform. A new projector and camera were added to the sanctuary.
The installation of additional office equipment enabled us to record the worship service on CD and podcasts via the website. The copiers were networked to increase the efficiency of office printing.
We also purchased software to improve the worship experience and office efficiencies between the staff and leadership. Finally we replaced several computers which were due for replacement.
Prayer requests/priorities for upcoming year:
Please pray for us that we may have wisdom to use technologies in ministries that are simple, sufficient, and succinct; clearly addressing the specific needs of ministries, effectively communicating issues of the church to members and leadership, and being good faithful stewards.
