Follow-Up Planning Meeting
 

This is a suggested schedule and can be adjusted to meet the specific needs of your church.

 

Your Celebration will include the following costs depending on the elements that you choose:
Registration Fees:
Registration Fees for your Celebration are used to cover the Spiritual Growth and Community Impact Survey, LRM administrative expenses for promoting and staging events, as well as training coordinators and preparing team members. The registration fee schedule is based on your average worship attendance as follows:
50 -  250 $475.00
251 -  500 $800.00
501 -  1000 $1200.00
1001 -  plus $1500.00
Other costs will vary depending on the size of the church and the leadership personnel desired. Ordinarily, the team leaders and team members for the Celebration will volunteer their time as they minister in your church for the weekend. They will also pay for their own travel expenses to your church. Visiting team members are housed in the homes of church members.

In some cases, when special music, a designated teacher or other specific leaders are requested, an honorarium and travel expenses may be required. The church leadership is encouraged to set a budget, with the help of the LRM Coordinator, which reflects good stewardship while allowing the work of God's Spirit to be accomplished.

Free Will Offering:
The registration fees that we charge for our events only cover a fraction of the on-going costs of the ministry. Therefore, we ask for a free will offering to support the ongoing work of LRM. Your generous contributions through a free will offering during the Celebration, and/or inclusion in your benevolence budget, will greatly enhance our ability to carry out our ministry in the future.
LRM Book Table:
LRM will provide your church with a Christian Resource table to be made available to your membership during your Celebration*. We will ship the books to your church. You will need to designate someone in your church to be responsible for selling the books, and sending the proceeds from the sales and the unsold books back to LRM after your event has ended. All of our materials are sold at a 20% discount. Your only financial outlay will be the return shipping costs of the unsold books.
*If you have a local preferred Christian bookstore, we suggest you contact them about providing a book table.
