Dear People of St. James’,
This is just the beginning of a series of exciting announcements related to new staff in the life of St. James’. Expect an announcement related to our Director of Family Ministries and the Senior Services Liaison for Neighbor 2 Neighbor next week.
John Somers-Morales will be our new Sound Technician at the 10:15 am and 5:30 pm services on Sundays, as well as special services. John has served as a stage technician and done in-ear monitoring for a nationwide, 26 city tour. Additionally, he is experienced in vocal production, and is working on his degree in Music Business, Performance and Technology.
We believe that John’s skills and experience will take us to the next level. He writes, “I’m grateful and excited to join your community! I’m currently a student and music is a big part of my life. Helping create an atmosphere for everyone to enjoy creating and listening in is a dream project for me. My fiancée and I will be new parents in February, and we couldn’t be more excited!”
This does mean that our long-time volunteer Ron Williams is off the hook for running the sound booth on Sunday mornings. Ron has been a dedicated volunteer in this capacity for many years, and we will celebrate and give thanks for his steadfast commitment to this work this Sunday, September 8, with a special reception following the 10:15 am service. Please join us in celebrating and thanking Ron.
