Need your Photo Release Forms
COMMUNICATIONS AND OUTREACH MINISTRY is making continual updates) to our website. One of the suggestions that we are looking forward to implement is to populate the current pictures (especially on the home page) with pictures/photos from our own church family. In order to do that, we are requesting that you review the Social Media Policy and Release Form. We want to be sensitive to people’s privacy but also celebrate all the wonderful happenings that occur every week at our church. Please go to our Communication and Outreach Ministry page to complete the social media photo/video release form. Copies also are in the office. Thanks for your cooperation. If you should have any questions, call Jim Duffy @ 216.644.2784 or JMorganDuffy@gmail.com
Personal Sound System Available
BUCC has the latetest, up-to-date version of the Williams personal sound system.
It may just be your answer if you are concerned: (1) that the quality of sound deteriorates between the speakers and your pew in the sanctuary, or (2) that your hearing is getting poorer but not yet bad enough to buy hearing aids, or (3) that you have hearing aids and you want to hear even better or (4) that you are bothered by the route 82 traffic noises or any noise generated by your pew mates during worship.
Receivers are available in the narthex for you to borrow which pick up ALL PARTS of the worship service – sermon, readings, choir and organ music, etc. Just plug in one of our head phones, your favorite Walkman head phones or any other unit with a 3.5mm plug and you are ready for a new hearing experience.
Don’t know if you want to do this?
Then try it out; borrow one of the church’s head phones and “test drive” a Williams receiver during a worship service.
And if you already have digital hearing aids, an even better experience awaits you. Simply have your audiologist activate the teleloop option of you hearing aids, borrow a receiver with a teleloop plugged in and experience sound quality you never would have expected. The sound remains electronic all the way from the speaker’s mic to your ear drum.
One of our ushers and members of the Spiritual Life Ministry are ready to help you get started. Check with them before the service next Sunday. Your questions are gladly answered.
