I just read on another thread the order of services and was curious if others of you would post yours.
I realize that traditional churches usually have a more formal layout. I was wondering if this ever hinders the moving of the spirit.
if the holy spirit came rushing in, do you divert from the program or stop the flow so not to interupt the schedule?? just curious.
anyhow, here is the order of our service.
morning devotion 10am
prayer/morning hymn and chorus
sunday school /breakout sessions
morning worship 11am
pre service worship - 2 songs
prayer for the sick - 1 song
greetings- everyone shakes hands and visits
(transition from sunday school classes)
opening prayer and scripture
Choir selections (2)
welcome of visitors
special announcements
offering (selection)
choir selectiosn (1-2)
preaching/alter call
we often do not have a formal closing as to not interupt the alter call. our alter calls can go on and on for 45 minutes or more
