Glorious God, source of joy and righteousness,
enable us as redeemed and forgiven children
evermore to rejoice in singing your praises.
Grant that what we sing with our lips we may believe in our hearts,
and what we believe in our hearts we may practice in our lives;
so that being doers of the Word and not hearers only,
we may receive everlasting life through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Volunteers Needed

Camera and Streaming Operators Needed for All Worship Services

Did you know that through live streaming our three worship services that we reach approximately 200+ members and visitors each week? And those are just view numbers on YouTube and Facebook that don’t take into account how many people are watching together on the same device.
 
Our streaming ministry is a vital connection and extension of our on-campus worship. We need more volunteers at all three worship services to help keep this ministry going. If you have experience with camera or streaming operation, or are willing to learn how – both are EASY! Please contact either Johnathan Ancell, Director of Worship Technology, by e-mail at jancell@duluthumc.org, or David Daniel, Minister of Music & Worship Arts, by e-mail at ddaniel@duluthumc.org.
