The role of the
coordinator
If
you have volunteered to coordinate Lent Event in your church,
school or local community, we thank you! We hope you have fun and
derive satisfaction from your involvement. Please review
our Coordinators
Guide. It contains
everything you need to know to implement this program in your
community.
Your
main role is to PEP your church community
- Promote Lent
Event – before, during and after Lent.
- Encourage full
participation – to make the best use of the resources
available.
- Process
donations – to make sure as much money as possible makes it to the
Lent Event projects.
You
may wish to ask someone to share the role with you, especially if
you are part of a large community. In
particular, we have found that the processing of donations is often
handled by another volunteer. This year we have separated the
finance instructions into a separate Process Donations
Guide. If you are not
looking after the collection of the money, please pass
the Process Donations Guide to the person who is helping
you.
Promoting
Lent Event
Promotion is
vital to the success of Lent Event in your church or
group. Please use
the posters and
brochures to motivate as many
people as possible to become involved.
People will be
influenced by your energy and enthusiasm – excitement is
contagious! So 'talk up' Lent Event wherever you can. Maintaining
interest leading up to and during the 40 days of Lent is
important. We all live busy lives, so gentle reminders and making
the Lent journey and materials live in your church or group will
pay dividends.
The 6
weekly prayer point cards can be included in your notices during
lent to help people focus their thoughts on the projects they are
assisting. Download Here
