Ministry Opportunity

Interested in becoming part of a creative, meaningful, occasional ministry?  Become a member of the now-forming Taizé Set-Up Crew. No previous experience required, but a fascination with candle light is a MUST!  Brian is looking for some fresh creative energy from a few individuals who will learn how the candlelit icon display and worship space have been set up for past Taizé services and explore new layouts and possibilities.

Contact Brian: brian@bsdriscoll.com or (818) 404-8480
