Less Is More: Announcements

No doubt, if you are regularly involved in the planning of worship gatherings you have run into problems with “announcements.”  Figuring out where to place them in the service can be like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.  They are necessary to the body life of the church but they disrupt…
