These resources are available for you to download.
The resources shown here were used by the Ignite team as prompts for running sessions - we call them ‘running orders.’ Because they were written for people who understood how Ignite works there is some assumed knowledge within them! So, if you are new to Ignite, firstly welcome! Secondly, this information will help you:
- The room is set up around coffee tables with welcome snacks on each table.
- People are welcomed at the door, given name labels, and recorded on a register (ensuring data compliance).
- Prayer cards (we use luggage labels) are on the coffee tables with pens. We pre-write on one side of the label ‘please pray for…’ and we provide somewhere for these to be taken to (a prayer tree or a cross).
- Food is always available at Ignite. Some weeks are just light snacks, and some are full meals. Light snacks are served on arrival with tea, coffee etc. and the running orders allocate 30 minutes for this. Meal nights require a full hour before the opening game.
- Background music is playing on arrival and is also quietly played during discussion times.
- You will see ‘Boffins’ on some running orders. This refers to people drawn from your team who are willing to answer questions - it’s an ‘ask the experts slot!’
- You will see that the ‘running orders’ have different colours on them, This is to make it easy to see their content. Black is people listening, blue is multi-media and red is interactive so if you feel that you need a session which is very interactive look for lots of red!
The sessions have been broken down into rough topics. Clearly there is sometimes ambiguity regarding which headings to put the sessions under - you will agree with me on this when you see Valentines’ Day under Festivals!
