Thursday9:30amLeave for the church building / make assignments for door knockingIf the folks there could have a large map of the areas we need to cover so we can get a "feel" for size and scope. Also smaller "zoomed in" maps breaking down the area into  neighborhoods or sections. Print each of these sectional maps several times so we can assign teams to roads and give that team their own highlighted map showing them exactly where to knock. Count the houses on a road so we can assign a team to work a road with about 20-30 houses per team. Look at time allotted for door knocking on the schedule to see how many houses are needed for each knocking session. We will have 5-6 teams from Walter Hill (please encourage your folks to join us!). If this is confusing we can go over it in person on Wednesday evening.
