Sound System

When I was part of the "Jacob's Well Worship Service" team at Asbury UMC, we were in need of quality sound equipment. Over time I built a very capable sound system. The band that led the worship singing still gathers to lead others in worship from time to time. We hope to create a web site sometime soon. You can check www.crosseyedjake.org to see whether we've built the site. This system is also used during Youth Music Camp at Pocono Plateau.
