More Than One Service

Q. How is Consecration Sunday handled if a church has more than one service on Sunday?
A. There are different answers for different congregations.
You need to know the “culture” of a particular congregation. One possibility is to have some type of celebration meal after each service. One Guest Leader recently wrote us to say, “I just completed a program at a church that had four services on a weekend and we had a meal for every service. We utilized the gym for that, which meant that the contemporary worship on Sunday morning also moved to the sanctuary. This meant a tight time frame (1 hour 15 minutes from start of one service to the start of the next), but it was doable.”
Another possibility: A Committee Chair at a large congregation said they decided to invite everyone back for Bible Classes and a single meal. They promoted attendance heavily and made all the follow up calls, and attendance at the meal equaled their average adult attendance.
When it comes to announcing results, cumulative results may be announced for each service with the final totals announced in time of thanksgiving on the following Sunday.
