In 1976, a Cape Cod house that was built in the mid 1940’s was purchased for the Community of Christ congregation in Laurel, Maryland. After decades of dreaming, planning and fundraising, they were finally able to break ground this year to build a formal sanctuary.
Aside from retro-fitting a simple projector, screen and couple speakers in the pre-existing sanctuary a few years ago, the structure has never been outfitted with any new technology. That all changed starting May
7, 2015 when I led a group of volunteers to run cable in both the new sanctuary (currently under construction) and the pre-existing structure it is attached to. We ran cable for video projection, sound, distributed audio, distributed video, internet and network,
phone, cable TV, security and IP cameras.
The church is growing from having very little technology to having a lot of technology. The cable we ran will offer many enhancements and possibilities that were never possible before such as: Participating in services remotely… Seeing and hearing the services from the nursery (among other places)… Participating in church-wide webcasts… Reviewing internet based content with a group… Monitor and control the facility remotely for safety… The list goes on.
Prior to coming to Kronos, this is the kind of work I did. I’m glad to use this seldom tapped skill again and give back what I can.
