REMEMBER - PRAYER IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PREPARATION.

• Reserve the sanctuary or chapel, and the fellowship hall for the designated date and time.
• Make arrangements for the church to be unlocked in time for set-up before the gathering.
• Check on availability of host clergy. The gathering coordinator and spiritual director will help in finding available clergy.
• The clergy does not need to prepare a sermon, but should give a short response to the content of the fourth day talk.
• Contact Dan Corbitt in regards to musician needs (972-317-3107).
• Make sure tables and chairs are set up for fellowship.
• Check on availability of paper products and plastic ware. Let the gathering coordinator know if these items need to be provided by the community.
• Arrange for the communion elements. If a communion set is needed, contact the gathering coordinator.
• Pray about an individual to give the fourth day talk. This could be a lay person or clergy. The gathering coordinator can help find a speaker.
• Check back with the chosen speaker in a week or two before the gathering. Let them know that you are praying for them and that they can call on you for encouragement and guidance.
• When all of the needed arrangements have been made, contact the gathering coordinator to confirm.
• Continue to pray for the gathering and the fourth day speaker.
• Arrive early to check last minute details.
• Be sure to pray with the speaker before the service begins.
• Assure the speaker that you will be praying for them as they share their witness.

The gathering coordinator is available to answer questions and give assistance with any and all gathering arrangements. They are your partner in preparing for the gathering.
