How to offer a Worship Service

The Tree of Life Interfaith Temple offers weekly worship services on Sunday mornings from 10:00 to 11:00am ET. If you are interested in offering a service, you are invited to follow the following four-step process below. Please note that the Sunday Services Program Committee is guided by the Tree of Life Interfaith Temple vision and mission statements and reserves the right to determine the appropriateness of any program.
Here we GO!

STEP 1:
Check your calendar and ours

STEP 2:
Request to offer a service

STEP 3:
Describe your service

STEP 4:
Order of service, media, copyright info

STEP 1: Check your calendar and ours

Review the Worship Calendar OR the Sunday Services request email sent by our Presiding Minister. This calendar is designed to show the public on which dates services are offered. If a date is blank, that generally means it is open and available. Choose 2 or 3 dates that are open and continue to step 2.

STEP 2: Request to offer a service

Send your proposed dates to sundayservices@tolit.org along with your name, email, and phone number. Please note that while every effort is made to keep the calendar up to date, your first or second choice may coincide with the request of another. You will be contacted at the email provided as to which of your dates has been approved.

STEP 3: Describe your service

Complete the Worship Service Proposal form (located at the bottom of this page). Please send in your form 3-4 weeks prior to the date of your worship service. We ask this because our team needs time to coordinate, review, set up and promote your offering. We understand that inspiration can come at any time, but we would like the opportunity to promote your service well in advance of its offering. This form is provided below as an online form you can fill out right on this page. Please note that a photo is requested, which needs to be sent separately. Please send it to sundayservices @ tolit.org (without the spaces).

STEP 4: Order of service, media, copyright info

As noted at the end of the Worship Service Proposal form, you are encouraged to send three more items by the THURSDAY before your service. Please send them to Karen at admin@tolit.org . It is easiest if you include all three of these in the same email.

* Please create an Order of Service or Program for your worship service. (Please just include it as text in an email, not a PDF or attachment.)

* If you are asking Karen to screen share any videos or music as part of your service, please make sure to also have those to Karen by the THURSDAY prior to your service.

* Please review the document “Copyright Info for Worship,” linked just below this paragraph. You are welcome to use any copyrighted pieces in your worship service, and there are laws around what pieces we can use when we post services on YouTube. For ANY non-original pieces you use in your service, please write down the title, where you found it (book, online address, etc), and any copyright information you know about it. (There could be copyright information listed in a book, on a CD case, or under a YouTube video.) If you have permission from the copyright holder to use the piece, please also include that information.
