Worship Gathering Follow-Up:
- Counseling area available after service if required; away from foot traffic, quiet and discreet; stocked with Bibles, registration cards, tracts and any other needed supplies.
- Use “two man rule” for collection and deposit of offering receipts (no one individual ever left alone with offering receipts).
- Egress areas (hallways, lobby) cleared of tables or other obstructions that hinder congregants from exiting efficiently.
- Notification system in place to preschool and children’s area via phone, beeper, walkie-talkie or volunteers four to five minutes prior to service dismissing so teachers can wrap up lessons and prepare children for pick-up.
Spiritual Preparation:
- Pastor’s message prepared; outline available to all key technical personnel and worship leaders.
- Worship elements (music, video, drama) are engaged to “set the stage” for the teaching of the Word.
