Closing Prayer and Last Mentions:
The last-minute...very important - SAY ONLY WHAT NEEDS TO BE SAID then PRAY!

PURPOSE:
The reason we have a closing prayer and last mention is so that people will know that service is officially over and they will remember to act on whatever few items we need to mention.
PROCEDURE:
1. MEMBER REQUIREMENTS:
- Love Jesus with all your heart, have been baptized in Jesus Name, and filled with the Holy Ghost.
- Love our Pastor and first Lady wholeheartedly.
- Love theCrossroads and be faithful to the church body.
- Be Positive when starting the service, have faith and believe that God is able and willing.
- All service leaders will agree to theCrossroads Leadership Honor Code as outlined here:( Leadership Honor Code ).
2. MEMBER RESPONSIBILITIES:
- All members will have access to PCO.
- All members will receive PCO emails/notifications informing them of the service dates and times that they are scheduled for the upcoming month. (Members should learn how to make “block-out dates” in PCO in advance of any services they will not be available for.)
- All members will accept or decline scheduling requests, sent via PCO, at least one week prior to the date that they are scheduled to sing and/or play.
- If a member must decline a scheduling request, that member should do so as soon as possible to allow appropriate time for the team leaders to find another appropriate leader to replace their position for the service that they have declined.
- All leaders assigned to lead in services need to be familiar with what is happening in the service beforehand.
- All leaders are expected to have prayed before their time to lead and ready to minister when it is time to do so.
3. WORSHIP SERVICE RESPONSIBILITIES:
- All leaders should be present on the platform and ready to go at the time specified by the Lead Pastor.
- All leaders are expected to lead the congregation in praise and worship by example (as active participants during the song service, preaching, etc.).
- Please don't use this time to "sneak a preach" or go off on any tangent about something that is not relevant to the service.
- The closing time should be done with joy and love!!
