UNITED IN FAITH PARTNER: RI Interfaith Power and Light
Attn: Howie Brown, Director
Thank you for choosing to partner with us for United in Faith (UIF) 2008. We are pleased to announce that we have 12 churches and organizations that have decided to partner with us for this year’s festival—praise the Lord! As mentioned in our original letter, the benefits of partnering include:
- Being identified as a partner/sponsor in our advertising to promote the festival and throughout the day of the event
- Being provided with a space to set up a booth during the festival to promote your church and its ministries
- Being provided with an opportunity to witness to those who come by your booth
This e-mail is being sent to pastors and known assistants of each partner church to coordinate church booths for the festival. A PDF copy of this letter is also attached to the e-mail for your convenience. It is important that you respond by Friday August 22nd, so we will know how to plan.
CHURCH BOOTH COORDINATION POINTS
- COMMIT: Again, please communicate your commitment to set up a church booth (or not) with your reply by Friday August 22nd. Direct your responses to me (Mike Aballo) via phone, fax or e-mail (see below).
- LIAISON: We recommend that you establish and identify a point of contact to coordinate any church booth details for your group and to liaison with me during this planning stage.
- PROVISION: A table and chairs can be provided if needed—let me know what you will need along with your response. The rest is up to you—tent/canopy, signs, literature, etc. Most churches set up under a canopy (recommended); give that consideration. Please note that we cannot supply electrical power to the church booth area.
- STAFF: Please supply a list of those who will be staffing your booth throughout the day so we can prepare a name tag for them. Also, please the Elders and Deacons in your church who will be attending. A partial list with your initial response by Friday August 22nd will be greatly appreciated; however we will need your final list by Wednesday August 27th. This is essential for planning purposes.
- SET UP: The church booth area is planned to be outdoors on the grounds, adjacent to the Main Music Stage Big Tent. You can set up your church booth any time from 8:00 to 11:30 AM during the morning before the event begins. The location of your booth will be determined on a first come, first served basis. Please report to the Welcome Table, Cathy Morgan (Festival Coordinator) or me when you arrive.
- MINISTRY $UPPORT: Churches have been granted permission by the festival planning committee to sell items or accept donations that support ministries within their own church at their Church Booth.
- BOOK SWAP: Church of the Apostles will be setting up a book swap table where interested churches and individuals may contribute and/or take selections from an assortment of religious books and literature, for “free”. So, plan to contribute and/or be blessed with a special book.
The festival will be held rain or shine. We look forward to sharing this special experience God has prepared for us in this event. Please pray for the full impact of God’s purpose on this day and, of course, for fair weather. God bless you until then.
In His Service,
Mike Aballo

relatively new to RI-IPL. I'd prefer mid-afternoon, but could do any
stint. I'd also be interested in carpooling from Providence.
