I just blogged on this from the perspective of our people being ready to hear/receive our message. How are we planting seeds? In what ways are we cultivating soil? I got the idea of Seth Godin’s blog.

IMHO, worship schedules should be one of the more planned and intentional aspects of church ministry. Yet, so often its haphazard with no themes, aesthetics, etc.

In my mind, it is one of a few top priorities for any church leader:

1. Leading with prayer and God’s guidance
2. Effective leadership
3. Effective strategic planning
4. Attracting staff that love excellence

If you plan for nothing, anything will happen to you. ;)
