OPENING a Sunday Worship Celebration


a quick brainstorming 
with one of our Worship Teams 
at 
His Life generated these 
THOUGHTS, 
answering the Question:  
HOW TO OPEN A SUNDAY WORSHIP SERVICE?

1)  Intentional Silence AFTER THE COUNTDOWN.
2)  Read the Scripture Text of the Day AFTER THE COUNTDOWN.
3)  Call People to Stand and Shout and Clap with Thanksgiving AFTER THE COUNTDOWN!
4)  A Dance Praise from the Worship Team AFTER THE COUNTDOWN.
5)  A Solo Violin / Saxophone / Piano Number AFTER THE COUNTDOWN.
6)  A Full Live Instrumental Accompaniment by the Band AFTER THE COUNTDOWN.
7)  Stand and Greet Everybody a Good Morning AFTER THE COUNTDOWN.
8)  A Drama Skit or Pantomime AFTER THE COUNTDOWN.
9)  A Voice Over with Multi-Media Greetings AFTER THE COUNTDOWN.
10)  A Movie Click immediately AFTER THE COUNTDOWN.
11)  Lights Out with Special Effects Music AFTER THE COUNTDOWN.
12)  A Choir Singing or a Solo or a Duet or a Group Song AFTER THE COUNTDOWN.

add your suggestions ...

THE GOAL IS:  never be predictable!  be fresh! be alive in God!
TIP:  learn from other anointed churches and groups ON HOW THEY OPEN THEIR CELEBRATIONS!

3)  Have the Choir sing a BLESSING SONG, THEN PRONOUNCE THE BENEDICTION.

5)  Play the EXTRO PRAISE song on your Multi-Media, THEN PRONOUNCE THE BENEDICTION.
6)  SILENCE for a MINUTE, THEN PRONOUNCE THE BENEDICTION.
7)  ALL OUT PRAISE AND DANCE, THEN PRONOUNCE THE BENEDICTION.
8)  ANNOUNCE a very IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT, THEN PRONOUNCE THE BENEDICTION.
