Any local church can serve as a sponsor of SYATPlayground in their community.
- Designate one person to serve as the local coordinator
- Invite other churches to participate
- Determine which elementary schools you will pray at
Options:
- Assign a group to pray at each elementary school in the area. Designate a leader for each group.
- If your prayer group is small you may want to have the same group go to multiple schools.
- Determine if you want the people who are going to pray to meet at the school or the local church.
- Most schools do not have restrictions on people being on campus after school hours but you may want to notify the principal at each school to inform him/her of your plans. You could send a note or letter that says something like, “In show of support for the elementary schools in our community we will have a few people on campus on Saturday, September 26 around 10:00am for a brief prayer time.”
Specific Location: The School playground. Please note that some schools lock up the playground on the week-end. In those cases an alternate location on the campus should be chosen. Another alternative would be to check with the school officials about getting someone to unlock the playground area. Be willing to pay the school maintenance personnel for their time to come to the school on a non-school day.
