year-round Sunday morning services during times when our

FACILITATOR DUTIES ON SUNDAY
o Arrive a half hour before the (first) service.
o Help with setup as necessary -- chalice table, tea light, etc.
o Ensure the speaker(s) have water and are comfortable.
o Ensure the speaker(s), musician(s) and other participants
have an order of service and are briefed as to their
parts in the service.
o Ring the chime about two minutes before the hour. If you
are late, the service starts late and will likely end late.
o Close the sliding door -- This is a symbol of creating
sacred space for the service.
o Enjoy contributing to the service! People appreciate a
well flowing service and they will forgive your blunders.
You can be professional and have fun!
o After the service, open the sliding door -- receive folks
as they exit. After the last service help clean up and
put away and/or take care of guest presenter(s).
