Can’t Live With ‘Em, Can’t Live Without ‘Em

One of the most recent discussions we keep coming back to in our creative meetings at WCH is the use of announcements in our worship services.  We have found that it is very difficult to communicate “large chunks” of important information and upcoming events to our church family without having an abrupt stop to the flow of the service itself – let alone making it engaging enough to not have the same “talking head… time to mentally checkout” sequence to ensue.
