Who’s on the Team? – What are Their Roles?
Wednesday, July 1, 2009 6:00
What does your Sunday morning look like? During the summer Sunday mornings for us look quite different. For our fall season we have a Small Group – Large Group – Small Group format. Here in Phoenix when schools out for the summer everyone begins to find ways to escape the heat and head for the mountains or the beach. On any given Sunday as many as half of our leaders will be out of town. With that in mind our goal is to offer a quality experience with a limited number of staff members required. So we have moved to spending 90% of our Sunday morning time in large group.
So what does that look like?
Our Sunday morning staff:
Greeting Team – meets the children and their parents at the door, receives the check-in slip, directs the children to the appropriate area of the room
Room Leaders – engages children in fun Pre-show activities, participates fully in all of the activities of the morning
Host – the “up-front” personality that welcomes the kids, leads stage games, closes the program
Worship Leader – selects and prepares music, trains and leads dance team
Storyteller – presents the opening and closing for our Video
AV Tech – responsible for operating the computer, sound board and projection system
Our Sunday morning schedule:
Pre-show Music
Video Countdown
Opening Music Set – 2 songs
Welcome & Guest Recognition
Crowd Breaker Game
Worship Set – 2 songs
Offering
Bible Story
Theme Song
Game
Wrap Up – Closing
Dismiss Students to Classrooms
Exit Music
Following the conclusion of the program our children are dismissed by grade to their classroom. In the classroom leaders draw a child’s name for “Parent of the Week” (see previous post for details), hand out and explain our “take home” materials. Parents return to pick up their children using our matching receipt system. So, what does your summer program look like? Let me know.
