Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Massachusetts

In MA, I need to schedule an assessment of damages hearing. The notice I received indicates that I need to schedule the hearing with notice to the court and the defendant. Rule 106 specifies a certificate of service of notice on all other parties entitled to such notice. I don't exactly understand the manner in which I provide this notice. Is it similar to the summons that I had the sheriff serve upon the defendant with a copy of the complaint? Or, is there a general form that I can complete and send to the parties? I have searched legal forms and did not find anything. Without being an attorney and doing this all the time, the laws are not specific enough for me to understand how I actually go about providing this notice.
