So good to see Becky on Friday, just sorry we missed you. Glad to hear that have tken a church. Becky said that you really are enjoying the ministry. We are praying for you as we think of you.
Re: Announcements… I agree, announcements should be minimalized (but not eliminated) as much as possible. My wife’s church has successfully done this by posting all announcements on the PowerPoint and showing that for about 15 minutes before the start of service, and again immediately following. That way, the pastor can just mention them in outline form and get on with the real reason(s) for assembling: Prayer, worship and the Word! Good thoughts on your post.
