Tech Ministry What is Tech Ministry?   Tech ministry is the technological support of the liturgical ministries.  In other words, making sure the sound, projection and environmental systems are working properly to support the congregation's experience of the mass.   Why Tech Ministry?   Tech Ministry was created because as technology has become more and more sophisticated the burden on the other liturgical ministers has become overwhelming.    Tech ministry is designed for people who find technology fascinating and would be willing to learn how to use and troubleshoot the technology we currently use.   Tech Ministry Training   Tech ministers choose what level of training and subsequently what level of commitment they would like to bring to the ministry.   Our current need is for ministers trained to use the EasyWorship software for projecting lyrics on the screen during mass.  The training video is found below.    Once you've viewed the video and you're excited about further hands-on training type-in your contact information in the form below the video so we can get in touch and schedule some time together for further training.   Click on second from the right to see video in full screen     Where and When would You like to Serve?   Truth of the matter is that we would appreciate any type of commitment at this point.  If you would be willing to do it every week, every other week, every month or just be on standbye when someone else can't help out... we would appreciate all of those commitments.   You see, only a year ago, when we had the overhead transparency projector, we could ask someone from the congregation to help us out right before mass and with about 30 seconds worth of instruction they could do a great job.   As you can see from the above video... those days are gone!    Now we need someone who's actually been trained on the software to help us out.  Fortunately, the software is simple and fun to use - but it does require more than 30 seconds worth of instruction :-)
