I read this on a friend’s blog and he found it on another blog:
From Tim Challies Blog:
At the 9Marks Ministries blog I recently came across a brief article that outlined some of the ways church members can (and should!) serve their church on a Sunday morning. These are, in turn, drawn from a Trellis & Vine conference led by Colln Marshall.
Before the Service:
Read the passage in advance
Pray for the gathering
Greet newcomers (act like you are the host)
Think strategically about whom you should sit with
Arrive Early
During the Service:
Sing with gusto (even if you can’t sing)
Help with logistics (if there’s a problem, help fix it)
Don’t be distracted
Listen carefully
Be aware of your facial expressions (you may affect others and discourage preachers)
After the Service:
Connect newcomers with others
Get newcomers information
Start a conversation about the sermon
Ask someone how they became a Christian
Stay late
