ANOINTING OIL
A pastor may come and ask for some anointing oil. There are little bottles usually kept in one of the drawers. If they are not there, please leave a note in the blue book.
ACCESS TO UPSTAIRS
You’re only allowing Creative Breakfast people or known staff members upstairs. If you’re not sure, don't hesitate to say “Can I ask why you want to go upstairs?” if they say “Creative Breakfast” just let them up. If they can’t tell you or you’re not sure, just call your FI to sort it out.
ATM
The ATM is situated in the qantas lounge area as you head to the toilets. Call the FI if you get word that it is out of order.

CD AND BOOK SALES
There is shelving beside the door to upstairs with "Expanded Leadership" and "Behold" CDs on it. The book is $25 and the CDs are $20 each or 5 for $80.
Under the plasma screen, in the second drawer section you'll find copies of the CDs and books so you don't have to disturb the display. You can take them from the drawer.
All CDs, regardless of their age, are $20 each.
People can pay exact amount in cash (pop it in an envelope and write on the envelope that it is for a book or CD and name the CD and put the envelope in the third drawer, finance drawer).
People can pay by EFTPOS - use the church machine and write on the receipt CD or book and name the CD.
Then, in the blue communication book, there are some sheets for you to fill in exactly what you've sold and how many. Just fill that in and leave it in the blue comm book.
Can you also, periodically, check the shelving and give it a spray and wipe?
CHILD DEDICATIONS
REGISTERING
Child Dedications are held at Citipointe Brisbane on certain dates. Your weekly email will tell you when Baby dedications are on. They are held during the 8.30am and 10.15am services.
All registrations come through the Lounge. They can go over there to register and get the next dates.
Alternatively, for any further details, notify them to call Citipointe Reception Monday-Thursday between 8.30am-4pm on (07) 3343 8888. (You can give them an Invitation business card with this information on it)
ON THE DAY
On days of baby dedications one of our Families Dept Staff will be around to meet them so they can show the family where to sit.
COMMUNICATION BOOK
There is a blue spiral notebook where you can write questions for follow up - just put in your name and date and the request and assure the person that someone will contact them this week or follow up on the issue.
Remember to send people to the Lounge for Connection things like Life Groups or serving. Don't tell them someone will call them when we can deal with it now.
COMMUNION
Communion is held once a month at all services on that day. Dates are subject to change pending events and guest speakers. You will find Communion mentioned in the Information Desk Communication email each week it is on. There are little packs of individual communions for those who request it - found in the drawers - for days when communion is not on.
ON CALL PASTOR'S ROLE
We roster a pastor each service in the "On Call Pastor" role.
There is a list of who is rostered on in the upcoming Sunday and who the FI is. If you are told that there is a medical or behavioural emergency, please call the Critical Care person and First Impressions, or ask someone to find them. They are responsible for managing a scene.
DEFIBRILLATOR
Citipointe Church has a defibrillator which is housed in the pull out section of the desk. In a medical emergency, call the Critical Care person or FI to monitor the scene. Where it is a life and death situation, please call 000 and ask the nearest person to locate your FI.
EAR PLUGS
For those finding the services a little too loud, there are individually wrapped ear plugs in one of the drawers. More can be found in the A1 cupboard. Ask your FI for help.
EVENT FLYERS
There will be flyers at the information desk from time to time promoting various Citipointe Church events.
Church members are free to help themselves to take brochures.
The general church member may not put a non-Citipointe church event on the Information Desk. Please explain that we are unable to promote other churches and organisation’s events as we already hold many many events ourselves. If any appear, please put them in the roller door and leave a note in the communication book.
Citipointe Christian College, Red Frogs, Christian Heritage College and the Citipointe International College are associated organisations are may have flyers at our desk too.
FINANCIAL PROCEDURES
At the end of AM and PM sessions the EFTPOS receipts are taken off the spikes and put into separate Tithes envelopes and locked in the third drawer in the ‘finance basket’. Please write the date and service on the front of the envelope.
For Tax deductible receipts ONLY Foundation should be used. Ask the person to write their name and address on a Kingdom Builders envelope, process the amount and put the receipt inside the envelope.
Make sure anything other than tithes is clearly labelled on receipt with as much information as possible. Eg Guest Speaker.
Church Account Details can be found in folder and are on little pieces of paper to hand to someone.
Direct Debit Forms can also be found in folder. The person filling this in will need to take it home then call the church when they’re ready to scan and email or return to info desk in an envelope marked finance.
Events
They may ask but tell them you've been told you can't give out our Info Desk EFTPOS Machines. Sometimes events leave their machines at our desk and we hand them over. I'm talking about our information desk machines. Call FI to help them.
FIRST AID
There is a First Aid Kit kept in the Info Desk cupboard and one in the pull out section. Leave a note in the blue book if they are running low on anything.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
This role is undertaken by a staff member who troubleshoot, fix problems; basically fills in gaps. Look up your FI when you’re on (on the weekly communication) so you can get their attention as needed.

Write their name in nikko on the tin (UNDERNEATH NOT ON TOP) and give it to them.
There's a little piece of paper to hand them which reminds them what to do when they're ready to hand the tin back.
When they bring them back, we just double check their name is on the bottom and if it was before the fill in details form, ask them if we can collect their info.
The full tins get locked in the roller door where the folder is kept. More tins can be found in the cupboard.
