What To Expect...

If you were present during one of CLC’s two weekend services Mother’s Day weekend you may remembering hearing me say we’re in the process of eliminating the announcement segment in the middle of worship. That will be a cultural change for many of us. Nevertheless, it will help the flow of worship become more impacting by not only freeing up more time for worship, but it will also make for a more effective transition into the message.

Here’s how the potential new order of Worship might look – remember this is very loosely structured!
• 2-3 min welcome and announcements
• 20-25 min worship through singing
• 30-35 min message
• 10-15 min prayer time and offering

You’re probably wondering where does choir fit? Also, how about Baby dedications and some of the other things we typically do? Well, we’re still working on that. But rest assured we’ll still do dedications, and choir will continue to be an integral part of what we do!

Tomorrow I’ll share a bit more in detail about what a service might look like at CLC as we go forward. Any ideas or suggestions are always welcomed! Thanks.
