Instructions for setting up and tearing down Prayer Tent

If this is not perfect that is ok! All is good!

Gates normally open at 6:30pm Friday but it can open earlier for special events. Tent should be set up before gate open if possible. See photos of tables below.

SETUP TENT 

If it is raining: 

1. Get all boxes off the floor in chairs. 

2. Move tables, chairs and couches that have materials on them a little toward the center of the tent so materials doesn't get wet. 

3. Move outside table (with Books of John and Prayer Resources) and signs that lean against that table inside. 

4. Close back tent flags so fan does need get wet.

5. Leave other signs out including the 4 signs hung on the tent and the 2 signs near Gift Shop and Jewish Market - these are water proof. 

Normal things to do in order: 

1. Open back tent flaps so fan can pull air from outside, and plug in fan.

2. Set up all tables. Contents of each table is in boxes on top of that table.

3. Put table outside beside the plant if it is not too windy.  If it is too windy or raining, put table inside tent.  Put double sign in front of outside table on ground. If sign falls over there should be a bungee cord (maybe in box on that table) to hold it in place.

4. Put extra boxes on floor behind furniture. 

5. If there is a baptism, I have baptism certificates printed in one of the extra boxes.

6. Sweep tent floor if needed. Push broom is in closet just inside exit of the men's restroom. 

7. Put 2 text prayer request signs leaning against wall near gift shop and near other walkway near Jewish Market.
8. Plug in lights when needed. 
9. Fill ice chest with ice and water bottles. `
