    BEFORE PRAYER MEETING

    • Ensure our parents can have the best experience of the service by:

      • Checking both TVs in the space are turned on

      • Checking the sound in both spaces is at a good level

    • Ensure our feeding Mums are comfortable, by:

      • Filling up the instant hot water dispenser to 2L

    AFTER PRAYER MEETING + DURING THE SERVICE

    • Head to the area straight after Prayer Meeting and ensure the space is clean and tidy, particularly after kids leave at 8:45am to attend City Kids

      • Opening the gate for them

      • Offering them a cup of tea/coffee

      • Offering them a bottle of water

      • Engaging in praise and worship, and the message

      • Offering to pray with people

      • Pastorally caring as the opportunity or need presents itself.

     

    AFTER THE SERVICE

    • Please assist the parents in tidying the area

    • Empty the instant hot water dispenser, wash out the jug and reset the kitchenette area ready for the next service

    • Attend the 10:45am team debrief, passing on any relevant suggestions, feedback or pastoral care concerns to your team leader.
