Step 2

February **

Tasks:

1. Create a team to help you plan your community event. No community event is created without the help and talents of many. Look for people with gifts in organization, publicity, communication. Set up a regular planning meeting schedle and stay in touch with your state coordinator for ideas, help and support.

2. Find out if you can attend a Ministerial Alliance meeting and update them on your spiritual and physical plans and needs.

  • You may want to ask for a donation to help pay for the bulletin inserts, posters, brochures and other event materials.
  • If there is no established Ministerial Alliance, or if you cannot participate, consider setting up a meeting date and schedule by the end of February for all church leaders involved to meet and pray together.
3. Know your community, what the needs are, who the leaders are and if any of them are Christians. Where is your community spiritually, and which areas need improvement and prayer? Pray about who to include in the public signing for the proclamation and exactly what you hope will be the outcome of this time with the elected officials and leaders. Increase public awareness. What public venues are available and what are the rules for having an event at those locations.

Your goal is to have all these questions answered by the end of February:
  • what kind of observance you will have: Prayer breakfast, courthouse or youth event, church Sunday Call to Prayer and Thursday observance, Jericho Walk, Concert of Prayer, Prayer in the Park, etc.
  • What time of day and the length of time for the observance?
  • Where will it be held and arrangements to make the reservation?
  • Who will lead in prayers, be the emcee and be your speakers?
  • Who will lead in music and what music will be played?
  • Who will be in charge of publicity and printing, prayer events, fundraising, attaining sponsors?
  • Who is the prayer coordinator?
