Flow?

We are having a flow problem at church. Medium sized contemporary southern baptists, 500 in one service, 200 in the next. Continuity is just not there.

Here's the old flow

song
meet and greet
end of same song
song 2
song 3
stop for announcements
offertory song and offering taken
song 4
song 5


sermon
invitation song
announce new members/decisions etc

we just switched to this, and I'm not sure it works either

Song
meet and greet
end of same song
song 2
song 3
song 4
announcements ( that really fall flat on their face after the meaningful music. Even the announcer/assoc. pastor is not sure he likes it )
offertory song and offering
Sermon
Invitation Song
announce new members/decisions etc


I'm proposing:
Song
meet/greet
announcements
Song 2
Song 3
Song 4
Song 5

Sermon
Inv. Song
offertory song
announce new members/decisions etc

FYI this is the flow at Second Baptist, or at least how it was in the awesome Sat. nite service a few years ago

We are not sure we can move the offertory to the end of the service. It would be a big change after a few decades of doing things the same way in this church, and since we just lost our pastor, maybe people will want to keep things a little more routine, or something to that effect ( paraphrased from the boss )
