Sunday Campus Opening
This section summarizes the major steps needed to ensure that the building and services run effectively.
-
1Check of Exterior EntrancesBlower check for sticks/leaves: The Stihl Leaf Blower can be used to clear debris on Sanctuary front lawn walk, handicap entrance and atrium entrances. The blower is stored in the Main Street Mechanical room. Please recharge the battery after use.
Standing Water: The Atrium entrance will have standing water after heavy rains. The long handle squeegee located in the north Atrium entrance near the hand carts can be used to push the water to the side nearest the cross. This should be done before the Sunday choir practice.
De-Icing Entrances: Typically, the snow removal contractor will have sidewalks cleared for services. If for some reason the entrances are still slippery, de-icing melt is located in the North Atrium entrance near the hand carts. Additional de-icing material is in the garage. -
2Sanctuary House Light SwitchesMain Sanctuary House Lights: can be controlled by the master remotes switch located at the entrance of the Chapel leading from the Atrium. The switch is located to the right on the Chapel wall immediately inside the wooden door. Lights will turn off after 30 minutes
- The “on” switch, which is a remote wireless transmitter, needs to be pressed for 4 seconds to give enough time for the signal to reach all of the 9 dimmers it controls. If it is too quick of a press, some of the lights may not turn on.
- Any time it happens just press the “on" button again for 4 seconds and the remaining lights will come on. Of course if bulbs are actually burned out, we need to change them.
- Choir loft lights: Remote controls are stored on the light switches near the entrance leading to the pastor prep room.
- Stage lights: Lights switches are located in the balcony on the wall behind and to the left of the sound systems.

3Sanctuary House Lights that are DimAny dim bulbs are ready to be changed and will burn out within the next 4 to 8 hours. It is ok to change these bulbs at the beginning of the service to avoid a bulb failure during the service.
Notes:
Sanctuary House Light Bulbs - PS35: Sanctuary House lights are located in the belltower area. These are 500-watt, 130-volt heavy duty bulbs. They are dimmer than they used to be because the filament is heavier, so it is less bright but lasts longer.

4Sanctuary House Lightbulb Changing💡Lightbulbs, and the changing tool are in the belltower room porch.
- Do not change a bulb if people are sitting in the immediate area. If the bulb was burning and you want to change it, wait for the bulb to cool down as it is extremely hot!
- All but two bulbs can be changed with the tool. A 6' step ladder aids for the two in the two transepts (each side off the platform).
- How to change lightbulb:
- Make sure the tool is secure and aligned on the bulb. Gently press up on the bulb to engage the yellow rubber with the glass and rotate counter clockwise. Place the old bulb in the new box.
- To replace the new bulb, align the bulb with the tool by rotating the tool in your hand so the bulb shank is perpendicular with the handle and not wobbling.
- Extend the tool and insert the bulb in the socket turning clockwise. The tool will slip once the bulb is tight.
- Put the tools away and take the spent bulb to the dumpster.
- Do not change a bulb if people are sitting in the immediate area. If the bulb was burning and you want to change it, wait for the bulb to cool down as it is extremely hot!
