Whatever you do...1 Corinthians 10:31

Thank You Tech Team

Please take the time to read

"We are so thankful you all are willing to train and learn with us, but please understand that we have chained systems meaning one major change in one area could affect the entire A/V system. With that in mind, please do not make changes to any system beyond normal operation or what leadership has asked. If you would like to be a person with in depth knowledge on the system, please speak with TJ, Daniel, Or Hannah and we would be more than happy to work with you on that!"
