Sunday Morning Announcements Procedure
Adopted by the Board of Trustees, February 12, 2013
Sunday morning worship is the shared spiritual practice of the Chalice community, the central event in our communal life. There are three types of spoken announcements that may be included as part of worship:
- Announcements pertaining to worship (for example, a change in worship times) may be included during the welcoming words.
- Announcements that correspond to the theme of the day’s worship may be incorporated as part of the service (for example, a personal reflection about winter shelter).
- All other announcements may occur after the postlude.
Written announcements from Chalice committees in the form of “flyers” may be handed out on Sunday morning with the order of service, but they may not be inserted into the order of service.
Sunday Morning Announcements Procedure
- Requests to make a Sunday Morning Announcement should be made no later than the Wednesday beforehand. Email your request to [email protected]. This will put you in touch with Rev. Sharon, all Worship Associates, and Tech Team.
- Please indicate if you are requesting to give an in-person or video announcement.
- If in-person, confirm who will be speaking at the close of the 9 a.m. and the 11 a.m. services (same person? different speakers?). The worship associate can make your announcement for you if you provide the wording.
- If you are making your announcement using video, please have your video prepared by 5 p.m. on Thursday. Tech Team will contact you about how to submit your video file.
- The Worship Associate for the designated Sunday will reply to confirm your request is approved.
