BOND Department Guidelines for SWC

Offer Food and Drinks
-prepare food (cookies, sandwiches, finger food, etc), candies or drinks as people come into the SWC venue. Food will keep people in the lobby for a few minutes for fellowship.

Ambience
- have music playing when people enter your SWC venue. Music relaxes people. Set an atmosphere that is alive, happy and contagious with joy before the service starts. One way to do this is through music.

Ushering, Smiles and Greetings
- These are the first smiles people will encounter as they go to SWC. Greeters stand in parking lots or the entrance, casually greeting people as they approach the building. Hosts are stationed at the information table. They personally escort people to where they need to go. Ushers greet people inside the service, pass out programs, assist in special situations and delivers the offering basket to the counter’s corner. Ushers are to dress modestly, tidy and prepared with good breath and a smile. **make sure to have USHERS and GREETERS for the Children -- to lead to His Lambs Children's Church and also Youth GREETERS ... :-)

Giveaways/ freebees
- prepare giveaways for new comers. They will exchange their filled GMS for a token. This will give us access to follow them up [using the data base of names and info].

Service Tables
- a book table is stationed at the entrance. This is where we have registrations, materials for sale and serves as an information table too. Station a person that can answer to basic queries people may ask.

People Counters
- Assign a person to do the head count of the people who attends. This is to be done discreetly. For large SWCs, use a counter. Always be aware of MEN and WOMEN and YOUTH and CHILDREN's head counting.

Lord’s Table/ Communion
- Celebrated the Lord’s Table quarterly. Assign a group of people to prepare the elements (grape juice and small pieces of crackers) for the Lord’s Table. See to it that what is prepared will be enough for all the Sunday goers. Small group leaders are to serve during the communion time.

Welcome
- This is done hand in hand with the program director. Assign a suitable person to do the welcome during the celebration. This person should be briefed on what to do by the director.

Consolidation/ Follow-up
- All small group leaders should be equipped to consolidate people during altar calls.
Guidelines:
1. Have a fresh breath.
2. Listen to the message of the preacher and to what call he
Is asking people to respond to.
3. Ministry is done to the same sex: man to man, woman to
Woman. [in the context of Networkings]
4. As people responds through a raised hand, standing or goes
To the altar, approach the person and start praying
For the person.
5. It would help if you ask specifically, what he wants to bring
To the Lord.
6. Be sensitive to the leading or prompting of the Holy Spirit.
7. After prayer, when able, ask the person you prayed for to
Fill our a GMS and check his/her response on the
Space provided.
- All filled up GMS has to be submitted to the book table after the celebration for follow- with in 48 hours.

One Call to PRAY before Foundation Day 2008
2008: One Call

This is an exciting 2008. This year will also set the course of our life as a church for the next 2 years before we reach the end of 2010.
Before we start to do anything big for our 15th Foundation Day at His Life [Feb 17], it would be wise to listen to the One who will give us instructions on how to do it and go for it — God!
Let’s spend time with Him. Let’s hear and obey the Lord together.

This little booklet [get your booklet guide this SUNDAY] serves as a tool for every His Life Ministries member together with our regular goers at church to join this 3-Dayhumiliation, prayer and fasting event come February 5, 6, and 7.

Let this be the time of the year when we can corporately consecrate ourselves, families, ministries and small groups to God. Let’s believe God to step into every area of our lives in ways beyond what any of us can imagine. Let's believe God for power, purity and praise to be the result of this. All for the sake of the Lord Jesus Christ who purchased us by his blood at Calvary.

Great men and women throughout history has been called by God to humble themselves through fasting and prayer. Fasting is a spiritual weapon God uses to advance His kingdom, change the destiny of nations, spark revival, and bring victory in people's lives.

Let’s begin to Pray and Fast believing ...

Believe this is the RIGHT thing to do. Believe you CAN do it. Believe GOD is leading you. Be found reading your BIBLE and PRAYING.

============================================
NOTE: PRACTICALS as you start your fast on Feb 5, 6, 7:
· Eat raw fruit and vegetables for two days before starting your fast.
· Likewise, do not eat solid food immediately after your fast.
· Begin eating gradually.
· Break your fast with fruit, vegetables, and soup.
· Reintroduce solid food to your diet gradually and slowly.
· Please fill out pages 8 and 9 before you start this week. [see booklet]
