Things to Consider as You Approach Worship this Sunday (and Every Sunday!)

Before the Service

  • Read the passage in advance - Our text this week is 2 Thess 1:11-12.
  • Pray for the gathering
  • Arrive Early
  • Greet newcomers (act like you are the host)
  • Think strategically about who you should sit with

During the Service

  • Sing with gusto (even if you can’t sing)
  • Help with logistics (if there’s a problem, help fix it)
  • Don’t be distracted
  • Listen carefully
  • Be aware of your facial expressions (you may affect others and discourage preachers)

After the Service

  • Connect newcomers with others
  • Get newcomers information
  • Start a conversation about the sermon
  • Ask someone how they became a Christian
  • Stay late
