It’s a very minor thing, but please don’t give your congregation the rude finger when preaching.
It’s a common accident when you have three short points to make… On your first point you make a fist and point your index finger to the sky. Then you go to make your second point… You bring down the index finger and raise the middle. Oops.
So, some tips;
Keep your palm facing way from you (palm out).
Don’t bring down your fingers, just add the next one so you’re holding two fingers (tally method).
Use the double hand option, where you hold your fingers (one, both or all three) with your other hand.
Avoid using your hands to count at all.
