As well as leading the offering on Sunday, I was also able to contribute in another way. The church was recently given a Soundcraft ui24R mixer. As a digital mixer with no sliders or display, it could be daunting to get to grips with but it is exactly the same model that I purchased and set up for ASTAD.

I was able to get it up and running and that meant we had plenty of channels for all the other members of the band and (another feature of the mixer) it was easy to set up background music for before and after the service on a USB stick.
