A pastor and worship leader should want to glorify God in all aspects of the worship service, as well as minimize distractions to worship. We also want our church to be considered a guest-friendly congregation. Are we training our volunteers to be on the lookout for guests and how to respond with timely information and answers to their questions? Are we evaluating the service, the announcements, the bulletin, etc., and being willing to make changes where needed from time to time, or are we coasting on auto-pilot?
To the praise of His glory,
Ray
Pr. 3:5-6
