This morning in class we practised a variety of ways to encourage the congregation to respond after the message has been delivered - you know, the soft music playing over the altar call or the take-home bookmark to remind people throughout the week... What you choose depends on the tone of the message and the intended result - are you wanting the people to sit and reflect, make a decision, leap out of their chairs in praise or be challenged on something throughout the week.
I did find it interesting; the different ways to connect and keep things fresh in people's minds. But I think the key is variety - getting a wallet card every week would very soon fill your wallet, the same as everyone doing a reading after the message every week would soon just become routine.
Any suggestions?
