    During the Week

    Report things like lightbulbs needing to be replaced or other building items to the maintenance crew (replace yourself if needed)
    Check technology items to make sure they play the correct material for Sunday and are running correctly
    Check for emails from yourself or leaders that might remind you of to-do items

    Sunday Morning

    Arrive an hour early
    Make coffee for volunteers (if that is something you do, we did it because we were in a separate building from adults)
    Turn on lights
    Turn on TVs, sound systems, etc.
    Turn on kid game systems
    Check the Check-in process to make sure all printers are working
    Pray over each room, leaders, kids, and their parents
    Take time to check in with your leaders and see how they are doing, take time to learn about them and their lives
