Did you know that there is a playbook for church? Indeed, the thought caught me off guard, too. But, just so that you are a little familiar with some of the plays and terms, here they are :
Quarterback SneakChurch members quietly leaving during the invitation.
Draw PlayWhat many children do with the bulletin during worship.
Half-timeThe period between Sunday School and worship when many choose to leave.
BenchwarmerThose who do not sing, pray, work, or apparently do anything but sit.
Backfield-in-MotionMaking a trip to the back (restroom or water fountain) during the service.
Staying in the PocketWhat happens to a lot of money that should be given to the Lord's work.
Two-minute WarningThe point at which you realize the sermon is almost over and begin to gather up your children and belongings.
Instant ReplayThe preacher loses his notes and falls back on last week's illustrations.
Sudden DeathWhat happens to the attention span of the congregation if the preacher goes "overtime."
TrapYou're called on to pray and are asleep.
End RunGetting out of church quick, without speaking to any guest or fellow member.
Halfback OptionThe decision of 50% of the congregation not to return for the evening service.
BlitzThe rush for the restaurants following the closing prayer.
