POSITION DESCRIPTION: Visual Media Director
DUMC is a progressive, small membership church located in Georgetown, Washington, DC. We are currently worshiping remotely (via Zoom) with limited worship leadership on site in the church sanctuary. For first half of 2021, Dumbarton Church services are expected to continue primarily in this virtual mode, but as it is safe to do so, we plan to start moving to a hybrid mode of synchronous in-person and virtual worship. The Visual Media Director will help with this transition
Our virtual choir sings "I Believe" for Dec. 13 service (Click here)
During Advent our worship will focus on the importance of music to help us get through the tough times and tough situations. Throughout our worships you will be introduced to the haunting melody of Mark Miller’s “I Believe.” The lyrics of this anthem come from a poem that was reportedly discovered in a concentration camp. It speaks to the power of belief:
I believe in the sun, even when it’s not shining.
I believe in love, even when I don’t feel it.
I believe in God, even when, God is silent.
On December 24th, we'll have three opportunities to gather and celebrate the coming of Christ:
4 PM Family Service on Zoom--Christmas carols, a puppet Christmas story and candle lighting
5:30 - 8 PM Christmas Eve "Pilgrimage" Experience--we will offer an "open house" where worshipers can walk through touches prayer stations and the labyrinth. RSVPs will be required.
9 PM Christmas Candlelight Caroling on Zoom.
People can contact the church for the zoom link for the 4 PM Family service or the 9 PM Lessons and Carols service. The RSVP for the Pilgrimage from 5:30-8PM is here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040b44ada92ca02-christmas
