Superior Sound in September!

Worship services during the last six months have highlighted several issues with the sound system in our Sanctuary. The main speaker is aimed over the heads of those in the first few pews and is inadequate to cover the back rows, creating several large “dead spots.” In addition, despite adjustments, the reproduction of David’s voice continues to be too tinny, and intermittent feedback has come close to driving several people out of the room.

In response to these problems, we have called in a professional church sound consultant to design a replacement sound system for us. His proposal includes all new speakers for the Sanctuary; new microphones for the choir and the bell choir; and new controls that will let the sound booth operators adjust more than just the volume level. The total cost for these changes will be $30,000.

Thanks to the generosity of several concerned members of the church, we have already received $12,400 toward this project. The Session has approved an appeal to the congregation for the balance.

Please, if you would like to hear terrific sound quality in our Sanctuary – no dead spots, no feedback, and David sounding like David – make a contribution toward this project today. No amount is too small. You can mail us your donation, drop it off at the church office, or leave it in the collection plate as early as this Sunday. (Be sure to mark it “sound.”) The sooner we have the money available, the sooner work can begin.

Let’s aim for superior sound in September!
