Every sermon must be well prepared and prayed over. Every hymn thoughtfully chosen to coordinate with the theme of the message. Every word by the chairman must be of relevance to the worship with no self intruding, for the word of God must reign supreme. There is no place for song leading, for all know how to sing. The worshippers would rather see God.
Announcements are to be limited to the most essential, for the Weekly back page notifies all.
I have attended a Chinese Church where announcements were given after the Service. The long rigmarole repeated week after week lasting 8-10 minutes had scattered the Sermon just preached. I have read Dr Peter Masters article on Guided Worship to great benefit. We had planned for 200 to attend. April 15 is the closing date of registration.
