Planning Guidelines for Daily Worship

• All students, full time and part time, are encouraged to share in leadership
• Meet with your team in advance for effective and organized planning
• Groups are encouraged to make use of the many books and resources in the Chapel and Library as well as their own resources for Christian worship
• See important copyright information and incorporate it into your worship materials
• Review the Scripture readings for the week - See Lectionary
• Consult closely with the Thursday preacher
• Consider other elements: music, prayers, movement, ritual, visual aspects

• Consult closely with the university musician at least the week before your team’s leadership.
• Contact the Sacristan if you need any help with items from the Sacristy or other assistance with the worship space.
• Photocopying of Worship bulletins may be done in the library.
• Seek to build a team that reflects the Christian Ecumenical traditions at AST.
• Worship begins promptly at 11:45 a.m. and should last about 20 minutes (except Thursday, when chapel can last up to 40 minutes).
• Use a variety of sources in your services – we are an ecumenical community!
• Pass on your evaluations, reflections, comments, and concerns to the Worship Committee.
