Postlude
Hospitality Breakout Rooms (15 minutes)
-- The above is a suggested template for the 1stUUPB online service. The service leader and/or guest have the final word as to the content and order of the OoS.
-- Three versions of the OoS are recommended: 1. A template (as above) to help the service leader prepare for the service, in which the service leader’s script can be inserted, 2. A “bare-bones” version to be sent to our Zoom tech for display on screen during the Ingathering, and 3. A “full version” (as if we were in the Sanctuary) to be sent to the invitees to the Zoom service.
-- From beginning of Ingathering to end of Hospitality Breakout is estimated to run less than 2 hours.
