GUIDE FOR LEADING SUNDAY SERVICE

1. Opening Prayer

•  Powerful, focussed and short
• Don't Wait for people

2. Salutation (Gathering, Entrance)

•  Bring a song
• Making them feel at home; welcomed
•  Inviting them to participate
•  Be brief, and direct
•  Be positive.

3. Choruses or Songs

•  Bring out first one
• Be in tune with Whatever is going on
•  Don't let them just sing and sing
•  You can get other things done
•  A song can be taught at this time

4. Testimonies

•  Pay attention
•  Pray for those who need it
•  Correct when you realise someone has a wrong mindset on an issue
•  Encourage people who need encouragement

5. Worship

•  Don't just nominate any member to lead
•  Use gifted people
•  The role of songs in worship is important

6. Word ministration

•  Very important
•  Read the Word 
•  Choice of songs must be in sync with the theme of the message
•  Use practical examples
•  Capture the main points of the sermon
•  Be part of the message
•  Demand response

7. Prayer after the Word

•  Song
•  Meditation
•  Invitation to act on the message: personal and church; consider thrust of the message.
•  Write down some of the main points of the message.

8. Offering

•  Be brief and follow church policy, it will help us
•  Appeals must not be done always, it loses it weight

9. Announcement 

• Be brief, if you intend to make it, don't let the secretary do it, and then repeat, save time.
• Give the very important ones.
