Well said Pergamum.

This sort of piggy backs on what's been said. When it comes right down to it, all sermons are a call to make a decision. If we proclaim truth then everyone there is called to either obey or disobey.

You know the congregation, so advice here is difficult. But, you might slowly and gently begin expressing concerns that the altar call may evoke an emotional response due to current circumstances rather than a true heart change. Perhaps share that you'd like to start exhorting people to apply the messages to their hearts and seek the Lord in their seats. Then, let them know that if anyone has any questions or would like to know the peace of God offered only in Jesus Christ that you are available and would love to speak with them. We don't have altar calls. But I have introduced the elders in a sermon before and said that each one of them would also welcome an opportunity to talk about Jesus with anyone who desired to.

I do not know, and I do not say, that a person cannot believe in Revelation and in evolution, too, for a man may believe that which is infinitely wise and also that which is only asinine. ~ CHS
