The service at Circle Church was compiled without announcements. We do not intend for the continuity to be jarringly disrupted by:
“On Tuesday afternoon, the Boys’ Clubs will be meeting. Please note that the place has been changed tonight to Adlar Hall, which is the second door on your right as you go down the front stairway. Incidentally, we are short some sponsors in this group. Please, fathers, do your duty toward our church boys and volunteer your services…”
We also do not intend for a voice to intone:
“Now if you will turn in your hymnals to page number seventy-three we will stand and sing…”
These announcements and “service cues” interrupt the flow of the service rather than aid it. Every congregation has the capacity to follow a bulletin. Isn’t that the reason it was provided to begin with?

We also offer assistance as you create Topical Sermons, Sermons Series, and sermons for special times of the year. We have resources available to help you with Advent Celebrations, Advent Sermons, Christmas Sermons, Easter Sunday Sermons, Patriotic Sermons, and more.
