Setting Up An Approved Fireside Program
- Flyer: We have a template for a 1/2 page flyer that's been very successful. We will make this flyer for you and send it to you for reproduction and distribution. Please distribute it to the ward members about two Sundays prior to the fireside.
We will need only the fireside address and date, but ASAP. - Bulletins: Please get the fireside announcement into the ward bulletin(s) or singles announcements, well in advance of the fireside. Use my published name (Marlena Tanya Muchnick).
The Fireside Package
1. Opening song: I Believe in Christ
2. My talk: story and testimony, with Judaism. One hour. I use humor and a break to keep attention.
3. Into His Rest; a solo (can be duet), by your singer.
4. Song of the Christ - A Spoken Psalm. Spoken with pianist accompaniment. It leaves you at a very peaceful, spiritual plateau.
No closing hymn. It would undo the spiritual feeling left by the spoken psalm.
5. The closing prayer.
- Singer: A singer (or duet) is needed for Into His Rest, which was written by myself. A soprano is best.
- Pianist: In addition to accompanying the opening song, the pianist is required to accompany the singer with Into His Rest and to accompany me with Song of the Christ - A Spoken Psalm*.
Most important: give us the names and phone numbers of the pianist and singer as early as possible. We need to get the songs to them. - Ensure that there are rehearsals. The pianist must rehearse Into His Rest with the singer.
The pianist must arrive early enough before the fireside to iron out Song of the Christ - A Spoken Psalm with me.
*Song of the Christ - A Spoken Psalm was written by myself. I read it while the pianist plays. It enhances the spiritual feeling; ask anyone who has attended my firesides.
- The program. Tell us who will be presiding, conducting, the pianist and singer and who will conduct the opening song, the opening and closing prayer.
We have a very sucessful program template that will help attendees remember the occasion well. It will have the words of the Spoken Psalm on the back so they can follow while I say it, for more impact. Please work with us; don't just do a plain jane program!!
We will send you the program created for you to reproduce. - The introduction. I will send you the introduction. Please use it. There are certain things I wish to be said, and please don't add other things.
