Last night we hosted a First Media open house for current and potential volunteers. We had about 20 people show up; 7 of them were new to our ministry. We spent time walking them through the church to the different areas where Media volunteers serve. Along the way, I explained what each position does and how it fits in the bigger picture of the worship services.
At the end of the night, all 7 volunteers committed to serve in First Media!
One of the new volunteers emailed me this morning. He’s someone who has always loved music. He came last night thinking that maybe he’d sign up to run PowerPoint or something along those lines. But in that one hour span of time, something happened...something “in his heart just clicked”.
Through a conversation with Chris Forte (our staff FOH guru), he realized that his experience as a musician could serve him well at an audio board, too. He’s very excited and feels like this is where he’s supposed to be serving right now.
He wrote, “Thank you very much for hosting the open house and spending time with the group as you guys did, because I may never have found my voice if it wasn’t for that experience.”
Wow. That’s a great reminder of why we’re here.
Connecting people to God.
Connecting people to others.
Connecting people to service.
