For a list of requirements and a detailed job description for this and other CRWM openings, visit www.crwm.org. BACK TO GOD HOUR RADIO - THE GIFT OF RHYTHM: A key component in both music and dance is rhythm. What about in life? We work, see family, sleep, eat…sometimes it feels like it's just continually repeating. It all needs to get done, so we just keep on going. But is this rhythm of life in time with God's rhythm? Or are we missing something really important? Find out on the Aug. 17 Back to God Hour. Go to www.BacktoGod.net for local stations and times.
