How do you make Sundays go smoothly?

A
couple weeks ago, Sunday morning didn't quite go as planned.

As
usual I was the first to arrive at church. I unlocked the door and stepped over
the threshold, and then things fell apart. Due to a miscommunication, nobody
had set up for communion. We didn't have any bread or grape juice, and the
store didn't open until half an hour before the service. Also, our dutiful
deacon got confused about her duty dates, so we didn't have coffee for a while.
Soon I realized I had overlooked at least three typos in the bulletin, and more
significantly, completely left out the Lord's Prayer and the Prayers of the
People.

When
I finally secluded myself in my study for a moment to type and print out the
eucharistic prayer for World Communion Sunday, I found that the copy of the
prayer had been thrown away. Fine, I thought. I can write a prayer. It wasn't until
I was passing the communion elements to the elder that I realized I left out
the epiclesis. I mumbled a sort of prayer under my breath. (Sorry, Holy Spirit,
totally my bad.)

When
I walked into the service, I was already a few minutes late but had to speak to
several folks I had asked to serve communion just a few minutes earlier. It
turned out they didn't need to serve after all-the original communion setup
person had asked three other servers at the last minute.

We
then had 20 minutes of announcements, all of which were important and well delivered
but which threw me off my game for the entire service. Mid-service I realized that
I had forgotten to print out the Prayer of the Day, so our liturgist was left
helplessly shuffling her papers at the pulpit in search of the nonexistent
prayer. I ended up turning on my portable microphone and leading it from my
spot in the front pew.

Those
of you who are pastors, I could use your help. Is this just a fact of life in a
small church—from time to time the announcements will go long, and the
communion preparer will forget, and typos will hide until Sunday, and your mind
will be on ten distracting details? Is this inevitable from time to time, or am
I just a bad pastor?

What
strategies do you employ to make Sunday morning go smoothly? Do you, like me,
prefer to write the Prayers of the People on the day of worship so that they're
current? Do you put your foot down after three announcements? Please, can you
help a brother out?
