5 tips for having a great church experience
Members of the Church will welcome you to the congregation and help you feel at home. Feel free to introduce yourself to others and ask people for help if you have questions. Everyone will be glad you’re there!
A Christmas service is usually an hour long. It often includes songs, prayers, and sermons (called “talks”) given by members of the congregation. During the service, Church members will have the opportunity to remember Jesus by taking the sacrament.
You’re welcome to come in any tasteful clothes you like. Most men wear suits or button-up shirts and ties and women typically wear dresses or skirts. Children usually dress up, too. Dressing nicely can help put you in a more reverent mindset and prepare you to learn about Jesus Christ and His teachings.
Each week, bread and water are blessed and offered to the congregation as a symbolic reminder of the sacrifice made by Jesus Christ. However, participation isn’t a requirement. If you’d rather not take the sacrament, you can pass the tray on to the next person.
You never have to RSVP for a church service. But if you’re nervous about attending, you can contact the congregation ahead of time. They can find you a friend to sit with and make sure you feel welcome when you visit. Click here to find contact information for your local church.
