You can adjust these sample programs to fit your requirements, pending the times and resource available to you. For example, if you need to finish by 3:30pm, reduce the three small group discussions by 5 minutes each, and your lunch time by 15 minutes, thus reducing your program by 30 minutes for the day.
More examples can be found in the Hosting Guidelines.
