Sunday Announcements

“trying to recruit church volunteers primarily by making announcements from the pulpit, via email, or within the church newsletter. Here’s why that approach doesn’t work” - Chuck Lawless

“I often get asked, ‘How important are announcements in the worship services?’ A corollary question is, ‘Aren’t the announcements a distraction from worship?’” - Thom Rainer

“Often announcements are bemoaned as a distraction from worship—and they can be. But if everything a church does together is part of our worship, announcing them on Sunday should be also. In these announcements, we get to hear concretely how Scripture is moving this congregation to act together.” - 9 Marks

“the more you talk about things in Sunday announcements, the less effective the messaging for everything is.” - C.Leaders
