What if the way you give announcements is quietly shaping how much your congregation trusts your leadership? This Thursday at 1:00 PM Mountain during Coffee Hour, I’m going to share a proven approach to announcements that can build trust, strengthen engagement, and help people see their financial giving as an investment in the future of your church. Join me. This may change the way you think about giving announcements.

I'll go first.

Rate the tasks you are responsible for getting done (ranked from most enjoyable to most painful). Bonus points for humorous and/or ridiculous examples of things you have had to do at your church Examples: 1. Sermon Prep 2. Sermon Delivery 3. Leadership development 4. Vison Casting 5. Rebooting the Wifi when it goes down 6. Staff Performance reviews 7. Mediation of staff conflict 8. Elder Meetings 9. Casting evil spirits out of the sound system 10. Responding to critical emails 11. Budgeting 12. Building systems and process 13. Hospital visits 14. Weddings and funerals 15. Long range planning 16. Building maintenance 17. Removing raccoons from the attic 18. (What else am I missing?)

One of the best ways to improve as a preacher is observing other's hermeneutics, delivery, and communication style. Please drop a link to your latest sermon in the comments

I’m glad to be here
