Planning Ahead

September, 2012 another simulcast is coming to the church that I attend. I am the coordinator for the steering committee for this event. I started praying in January, that God would bring forth the individual's he wanted to serve on this committee. As of Sunday, February 26th, my prayers were answered! I have a full team anxious to prepare for this event. There are 20 of us altogether. Right now the director of the women's ministry and myself are making the final financial decisions--figuring out what ticket prices will be, etc. There are many details to consider in this budget. From the cost of the simulcast to the miscellaneous costs that may arise, we are up to our eyeballs in dollar signs! I have two more meetings scheduled in March--one with the director, and another with the individual who will be running the registration site. Meanwhile I am composing a manual for this event, for each team. Yes, there are 7 teams within the committee. Each team serves a different purpose. Design, hospitality, product, prayer, outreach, facility, registration and tech are the teams now in place. We will have our first meeting the end of April and we start digging into our tasks in May. The entire team seems to be really excited--myself included! We are going to handle some major changes from last year, and it's going to be far more beneficial for EVERYONE!
