HELP MAKE COFFEE TIME FELLOWSHIP TIME!

Coffee Time After Church Service

Has it been a while since last you hosted Sunday “Coffee and Conversation”? This is a time very much enjoyed and appreciated by the congregation after Sunday Worship Service, but it can’t happen without you! Consider teaming up with others and create opportunities for Fellowship. Many hands make light work!

A Schedule has been created on Sign Up Genius for volunteers interested in hosting these very anticipated get togethers! Here you can view the schedule and chose a convenient open volunteer slot. (As a bonus you will get an email reminder prior to your selected date!).

Like to be behind the scenes? we are currently looking for sunday videographers

Each Sunday, a volunteer is required to record the Worship Service for the benefit of our congregation who choose to join in virtually. The volunteer will record the live service from the Upper Balcony in the Church Sanctuary using the church digital video camera, and tripod. Once videotaping is complete, the video is then loaded from the camera onto the Office Admin's desktop via a cable that is attached to the computer tower. If required, any partial sections are quickly and easily combined into one complete digital file using the provided editing software, and then uploaded to the Lakeview United Church YouTube channel. A link is then created on the Church website from the YouTube channel.

Detailed instructions are available and training will be provided.

The time involved is not onerous. You would need to arrive about 15 minutes early for equipment set-up, and can expect the video uploading process to take approximately 15 minutes at the conclusion of the worship service!
