Assistant Funeral Coordinator -  We need a volunteer to fill the job of assistant funeral coordinator. The job is two year commitment. The second year you would move to the head funeral coordinator position. Please contact one of the trustees if you feel moved to accept this position.

AC Central Update- Changes to AC Central continue in the effort to get the live streaming service to be more reliable.  In addition to the streaming server changes that were announced last week, there is now an update to the AC Central app in the Google Play Store.  This affects Android users only and includes a new audio player which should dramatically reduce the number of stream drops.  Please make sure your app is up-to-date on your device. If you are running an iOS device (Apple), there are no changes or updates at this time. If you are streaming through the Roanoke Church or AC Central websites (i.e. not through an app), there are no changes that need to be made. As a general rule, regardless of the operating system is a good idea to make sure the app is always up-to-date.  The developers work on the AC Central app every week and will release an update when they have a batch of improvements or fixes to push through. This is still not expected to be cure-all, fix-all for the streaming issues.  But it should dramatically improve the Android user experience.  If you still experience streaming issues, please let Bros. Matt Leman or Byron Gerber know so that the issues can be documented and sent back to AC Central for their troubleshooting purposes.
