Event Planning Guidelines

This list is to help you plan and coordinate your event at the church.

For questions, contact the Event Coordinator: Joe Ann Rucker.

TO SCHEDULE AN EVENT

  1. Check with the office and ask for an open date. Your event will be posted on the calendar in the church office and website.
  2. If this is a fund-raising event, clear it with the Finance Committee.
  3. If your date is already taken, negotiate with the other group to work something out.
  4. Post the date of you event on the door of the fridge in the kitchen and on the kitchen door.
  5. Arrange for childcare, if necessary.

NOTIFY THE EVENT COORDINATOR (EC)

  1. Let the EC know the date, time and contact person for your event.
  2. Let the EC know if you have any special needs for your event.
  3. Discuss the need for childcare for your event.

    drive at all.
