UUFA Sunday Morning Program Committee
        
       The Sunday Morning Program Committee (SMPC) plans and implements
       year-round Sunday morning services during times when our
       minister doesn't speak. The committee works with our minister to
       facilitate and to plan shared programs. Members arrange for
       speakers from within and from outside the Fellowship.

       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).
