• Turn on the sanctuary lights and fans if necessary.
  
   
• Put out on the entry table by the Worship Support Teams bulletin board the individual hearing assistance devices.  These are kept in a basket in the office cupboard above the file cabinets.  Please put them away at the end of the service.
