Testimony Service - Who Has It?
Do churches still have testimony service on a regular basis? We haven't had one in probably 20 years, only because there were a few people who tended to get very negative about two minutes into their "testimony", so we shut it down. Now if we have someone we want to give a report about, we ask them to, but we never have open public "testimony" service.
How about your church? Is this still the norm?

I only know of one church that does this on a regular basis. But then, the attendance is so low now that all 8 people could testify and only take up 10 minutes of service time.
Our church doesn't do it. (at least they haven't since we started going there in Sept) When someone has a testimony they want to share, they let the pastor know-- and he gives them a chance to share it.

I was thinking that mainly testimony service is a practice still in place at smaller churches, which would explain why so many churches in IN still do this.
