SERVICE LEADER

Your role is to lead the service and ensure that all members that are required for the service are aware of their role and when they are needed
A run sheet should be put together and sent out through the week, ideally before Sunday so that everyone is aware of what is happening during the service
Ensure that all involved in the service know when they are needed to be up the front and if they need to introduce or lead the congregation into anything
Please be at church by 6 and when the preacher, band and tech team are available, pray for the service

Normally one of the ministers will do the announcements, but here is info that applies.

We want to mention Connect Cards during the announcements each week.

The idea is not that people will fill them in on the spot, but to raise awareness so that when we invite people individually, they know what we're talking about.
Even if there are no actual newcomers in the room, this communicates to everyone that we are a church that expects and looks after newcomers.
The small handful of online viewers are prompted on-screen to fill a form, so there is no need to address them directly.

Sample wording:

[Slide] "If you're new to All Saints, we're really glad you're here. To help you connect in with church life, we'd love you to fill in our Connect Card . If you didn't receive a card on your way in, you can find them down the back, or fill it in online. [Gesture at screen] These details will be on the screen again after church."
[Slide] "If you're new or newish, we'd love to help you get more connected into church life here at All Saints. Our Connect Card [hold one up] is a way for you to give us your details so we can be in touch. There are boxes you can tick about joining the mailing list, or getting a printed nametag. You might have received a card on your way in; otherwise you can find them down the back, or use the online version [gesture at screen]. These details will be on the screen again after the service today.
