Download it here (FCCW Room Setup Form) or grab one in the Church Office, on top of the mailboxes.

Any request for preparing rooms should be submitted on a Room Setup Form. In order to ensure that your request is completed when desired, please give us at least one week’s notice. That will allow our facilities staff enough time to plan their workload. Please fill out the required information at the top of the form. Include a sketch of any set up such as table types and positions and how many chairs. Use the notes section for any special instructions.
