St Andrews UMC (Parkersburg) was the recipient of a Congregational Vitaly Grant this summer. The grant allowed the church to move from using a single camera, Mevo, for worship to a two camera system that allows them to integrate their worship slides. They also have installed large screen tv’s to take the place of a projector and screen. 

Shawna Umpleby, was one of the team leaders who made this installation possible. “It’s been such a blessing for Facebook viewers to be able to see the dust we missed when we cleaned last week(lol). But really the picture is so clear and we can now zoom right up and see the bell choir and all the tv screens.  We have had such positive feedback and get this not one negative comment everyone in person and on our streaming love all the great additions.  Thanks to the congregational vitality grant this was all possible!!”
