Comparing Mormonism to the Bible at the Hill Cumorah Pageant 
Hill Cumorah Pageant Outreach
July 9-18, 2009
Easily rescue many before they fall into Mormonism!
Over 100,000 people will hear a Christian-sounding message at the beautifully orchestrated Hill Cumorah (Mormon) Pageant in Palmyra, New York. Many non-Mormons will sign up for more information about the Mormon Church, unaware of the false religion they are about to lulled into by those clean-cut missionaries.
Frontline volunteers needed
Come help with the distribution of literature warning innocent people about this deception. No experience necessary. Training, lodging and dinners provided. Your cost will be minimal - primarily your transportation to and from Palmyra and your breakfast and lunch daily. Click here to register NOW!
Behind the scenes volunteers needed
(no person-to-person witnessing)
Here is a list of volunteers needed for important behind the scenes support functions:
Missionary Housing Coordinator - Filled
Housing Hosts - to donate sleeping rooms for out of town Missionaries for 1 to 9 days during the Pageant outreach. We will add to the list of hosts those who live as far from Palmyra as Macedon or Newark. We value these hosts and teach our missionaries to leave their rooms in better condition than they found them.
Meal Coordinator - Filled
Meal Caterers - to make meals for the frontline missionaries each evening of the Pageant outreach (Two or three chefs can combine efforts, if desirable, for each meal or one team of chefs could make a mission trip of it and do all 8 meals).
Dinner Cleanup Crew - for after dinner cleanup at First Baptist Church of Palmyra. One or two persons each of 8 nights.
Picnic Coordinator - One or more persons to take care of the logistics for the volunteer appreciation picnic on the first Sunday of the Pageant. This would involve sending a picnic invitation to all who have volunteered in any way to serve with us during the Pageant, reserving the pavilion at Aquaduct Park at the western edge of Palmyra, shopping for the watermelons (for the watermelon seed spitting contest), setups, entrees, etc., coordinating dishes-to-pass, and marking the Pavilion with a reserved sign the morning of the picnic. This person would also assign volunteers at the picnic to make sure the pavilion is cleaned up before we leave.
Host-Writer - We need one or more people to write or compile some friendly tips for missionaries to help them go above and beyond to be host-friendly guests while staying in Palmyra. Some time ago, there we lost some hosts due to sloppy missionaries. We cannot afford to be lax in this. (Maybe one person could compile suggestions from all the prospective hosts and we could just put them on a simple flyer to give to the missionaries. That way, any pre-existing concerns will be covered without any one host having to confront their guest with a list of dos and do nots.
Drivers - to pick up out of town missionaries at Rochester Airport. There will be only one or two of these, typically. But sometimes the pickups come at a time when we are involved in training, etc., and it is very difficult for us to do it ourselves.
Worship Leader(s) - A guitarist or pianist or other musician and singer(s) to lead a couple of worship songs at our training meeting and morning meetings each day of the Pageant.
Photographer - Need at least one person to record the outreach in digital photography and/or video for at least one day.
Launderer - to pick up the missionary T-shirts each day and wash and fold them for the next day. This might be done every other day (3 or 4 times, one of those being the last day when we will pack the shirts away until the next outreach).
Prayer Team Coordinator - to recruit and coordinate prayer support for the Pageant outreach.
Prayer Team - to pray during the Pageant. We would like to have at least 6 prayer warriors. But we need all the prayer support we can get. Some of you might like to form prayer teams at your church during the Pageant. But please encourage us by letting us know.
Sign Sitters - We have signs mounted on easels next to Highway 21 near the Pageant grounds which need to be guarded by volunteers who can bring along comfy lawn chairs. Some of the folks in cars will make comments as they drive by but there is no real opportunity for discussion with the Pageant goers. We need 8 persons each night of the Pageant.
Highway Banner Crew - One or two volunteers to install two banners at locations on Hwy 21 not far from Pageant grounds and check the banners each day to make sure they have not been vandalized (Sometimes we have to retie them).
Canopy Crew - Two people each day of the Pageant (seven days) to put up and take down an Easy-up Canopy (in the village park at noon and at the Pageant at 6:15 pm). Very minimal training necessary. It is a very quick and easy setup.
