Master in Charge Night
Pineville Ward, Charlotte, NC October 2003
By Chrys Solomon
This was my second enrichment and a great success. Something that started out
so materialistic turned out to be very spiritual. Many sisters came out I
think because of the fun and different approach. But, I have inspired them to
come back because they were nurtured spiritually.
1. Toy Store/ Strengthening relationships with your children. (0 to 100 yrs)
2. Sporting Goods Store/ Strengthening relationships with your spouse
3. Shoe Store/ compassionate service leader: Walking in others shoes
4. Dress Store/VT-co-ordinator: Characteristics of a loving VT
5. Food Court - Mrs. Reid's chocolate chip cookies (Mrs. Fields)
First Sunday
Publicity was printed on neon colored fliers. These were put out on every car
in the parking lot. When ever I go to the mall here my car is always plastered
with those annoying fliers. The parking lot looked very colorful.
2nd Sunday
6 large white gift bags with hot pink tissue. The information was printed on hot
pink card stock and taped to the bag. These were on the entrance doors. 6
small white gift bags with tissue and the information were located throughout
the building. I can recycle the bags for our Dec. publicity. They were a great
eye catcher. Turned out better than expected.
3rd Sunday
After the RS lesson was over I heated in the oven teriyaki chicken and sliced it
into small bites size pieces and stuck toothpicks through them. (food court- The
oriental restaurants always have someone passing out chicken. The sisters love
food- I bought the frozen marinated chicken breasts from Sam's club.
Decorate front entrance. Early bird prize was a gold metal gift bag, found at
Wal-Mart-Christmas dept., the shopping bag of the year. It had tissue paper and
we wanted her to have a little cash 100 grand bar and some change. (chocolate
coins)
Teachers were in charge of the set up and break down of their own stores. They
also had to come up with a handout which highlighted their class and something
small for the sisters to remember their store.
When the sisters arrived there was a table set up with 2 posters advertising for
a credit card. Pictures of Christ lined the wall behind them. It was the
master card logo but instead it read The Master in Charge 1-800-PRAY. I also
made these the size of regular credit cards printed on high gloss photo paper.
On the back of the cards I drew a bar code with a thick black magic marker and
put a piece of tape across the back. Each card was numbered 1-4. This would
let each sister know which class she would start off at and then rotate from
there. We also used these cards to draw the winner for our early bird prize.
Our teacher gave a wonderful lesson and set the sisters out with such a great
spirit.
Each one of the teachers truly prepared their class by the spirit there were
tears shed in each class. I think telling them initially that it was an evening
on strengthening relationships we would have lost 20 had 50 come out. Giving
HFPE a new twist as helped improve our numbers. I truly believe that enrichment
night is not for Sunday structure. There is no reason why we as sisters. We
not have fun and still be spiritual. We proved this that night. Later that
week I received so many thank you cards in the mail as well as that night.
My husband's graphic company created the master
in charge logo for me. All copy right laws have been honored.
