JOIN THE TECH TEAM!
Ever wonder why there are some weeks in which we don’t offer a live stream or don’t have lyrics and slides projected on the screens? It’s because we are lacking enough Tech Team personnel to man all the stations each week. We need more help in this area! Interested in joining the Tech Team? There are openings in several areas and we will train you for these jobs: • camera operator • sound operator • projection operator • video director • and more! It may seem overwhelming, but we offer training and will be here to help you along the way. If you’re interested or have any questions, contact the Ministry Champion: video@fbcrichland.net

Hi FBC family, we are hosting a 5-Day Club in our back yard this coming week – July 6-10 – and we’d love to have your young ones join us! Invite your neighbors, friends and cousins! Parents or other adults are welcome to stay! ~Merry Collop
