You know as well as I do how frustrating it can be to sit through a church service that didn’t have a clear end time.
Streamlining the worship service doesn’t suggest that we should rush through the church service. It merely means managing the time better. Do you need to streamline your church service? Does your pastor need to streamline your service?
1. Plan your service
2. Stick to the plan
3. Rehearse to cut dead time
4. Combine elements- have one person do multiple items on the program
5. Study the flow of other church services
6. Don’t preach for 1 1/2 hours
7. Re-evaluate every element of your service
8. Limit announcements
9. Start on time
10. Create a culture that respects the time of members
