Before Service

• Check with the speaker to see if there are any special requests or changes in service order – may need a podium, note cards and pens under the student seats, or other special requests – get small group leaders to pick volunteers to help as needed
• At both of the openings to the auditorium should be an offering box and table with note taking stuff – make sure it is filled and properly placed
• Check the set-up of the chairs – if you need help, just ask other team leaders

Service Run Through

• Start at 6:40 sharp – just announce to everyone
• Make sure the service hosts have microphones and prompt them to get on stage to get everything started with a 30 second count down
• Make sure the speaker has a microphone
• Let the Worship team do their thing – prompt the bumper video 10-15 seconds after students are dismissed to their seats
• Make sure the speaker runs through their talk – ensure that the pro-presenter team is ready with appropriate slides

During Service

• Close drapes
• Pay attention to lights, words up on screen/timing, sound, students acting up…basically keep an eye out for anything that is distractions
• Handle as needed

End of Service

• Do everything in reverse – shut off TVs and lights
