MEMORANDUM

TO: ALL MINISTERS & MEMBERS

FROM: BISHOP SORIANO

SUBJECT: GUIDELINES & POLICIES

Date: NOVEMBER 16, 2008

Our God is a God of Order and FRCI and ACE should be working together to observe and practice the guidelines and policies we have recently discussed. In as much as each and everyone of us wish and desire that FRCI to be a model church, I would request a strict compliance of the following:

1. Testimony: Anybody who desires to testify, testimony is and will only be limited to 3 minutes. If you feel that your testimony will exceed the time limit, you must notify the Worship Leader in advance. During testimony, no preaching is allowed.

2. Participation: Anybody who is a participant in the Praise & Worship would only play the part given to him or her. If practice is required, that person must practice to avoid any confusion or problem during the execution of his or her part during the service. i.e. singing, playing instrument, etc Our praise & worship is sacred, especially while in front of the altar as the service is meant for our Lord only which should involve the whole heart, mind and spirit only.

3. Prayers: Prayers must be recited directly only to the subject being prayed for. We have time to pray for other issues and we must avoid stating the exact problem of the person we are praying for. i.e.

a) Opening Prayer, let us open the service with the opening prayer thanking God for the day, for the service, thanking for the member who are present, and for blessings and guidance of the participants and the entire service.

b) Prayer for the food, we pray for the food that was prepared and thanking and asking for blessings for those that prepared them.

c) If there is an altar call, or the leading of the Spirit, is present, let the Preacher handle it.

d) Prayer for the needs when necessary, can have a part in the service as well as prayer for anointing.

Dress Code: All participants in the praise & worship must strictly adhere to our dress code.

a) a) Time: Start time of either Sunday School and the Praise & Worship must always be on time. If Sunday School starts at 10:00AM, it must start at exact time to finish a one hour allotment giving the exact time to start the praise and worship.

Thank you and God Bless.
