Events at a Glance

Let’s say our church is going to plan a big event.  Something like a summer camp, an Egg Drop, or The Man Games.  We start with an idea, move through the decision making process, then work through the event planning sheet.  The result is an Event at a Glance document.  This one or two page document contains all the basic information about the event – information that is sent to everyone on staff and also to volunteers associated with the event.

Here’s the event at a glance for Action Week (our version of VBS) and here’s the one I put together for Nuts and Bolts.

By the way, the decision making process and the event planning sheet are included in Docs and Forms 2.0. Tomorrow, I’m going to give away a set of Docs and Forms, so be sure to check back.
