Here's a tip for you public speakers from Iced Tea Forever:
When you’re the emcee or moderator of a church service or a concert, never mention a low turnout or how disappointed you are that more people didn’t come. It serves no purpose. After all, the people you’re telling are the ones who came! All it does it create an aura of negativity. It doesn’t chastise someone who should have come but didn’t, it just makes the one who did come feel bad that those in charge are so disappointed.

Reminds me of a Cincinnati HIS concert I once attended.
"Well, we're going to go ahead and get started. I'm sure that more people will be coming later..."
ouch! Good point! I will try to never do it again...
reminds me of a lady who was in charge of the Christmas program here several years ago. The first thing she said was--its nice to see everyone here this morning--do you only come to church on Christmas--- then said--the program would be better if you had brought your kids to practice!!! Ha!! Made everyone feel soooo welcome!
