Calling All Computer Techies! With the launch of the Saturday night service, we will need 2 or 3 computer savvy people to serve 1 Saturday a month to run our computers that project the lyrics, sermon slides, and videos.  We use a Mac computer and run a program called “ProPresenter.”  Most “techies” will be able to master the program within a few run throughs.  You will be provided a training session with
ProPresenter, and you will be given a “coach” to help you through the first couple weeks.  If you could give your time once a month to serve in this way on Saturday nights, email Pastor John at: pjohn@danvillefirstbaptist.org and say, “I am your techie!”   

Church Administrator Position Opening: With Fil retiring in January, FBC is beginning the search for our new Church Administrator! This is afull-time salaried position. If you are interested or would like more information, please contact Ardie Kissinger.
