Checklist for Host Churches

These are things that host churches need to think about and prepare for when hosting a Pathfinder Bible Achievement event:

• Facilities: Ensure ahead of time that sufficient paper towels and toilet paper are provided after the church service. Also consider having the trash emptied during the first and second set of questions. The basic problem is that there will be large numbers of Pathfinders and parents using the facilities right before the event begins, during the break, and immediately afterward. Many churches are not prepared to keep the facilities nice after crowds of this size concentrated into such short timeframes.

• Refreshements:

• Think ahead of time about where the group picture will be taken. After each event, all of the Pathfinders are gathered into a large group for photographs. If there is a natural place for the group to gather, such as a choir loft or stairs on the front of the rostrum, give thought ahead of time to clearing that space to get a good group shot. For example, the choir loft could be emptied of chairs.
