People in Church do several things. First of all, they praise God and give him glory for his love and compassion. Also, the pastor reads scriptures on several topics every Sunday (or whenever church is held) to the people and helps people gain a better understanding of The Bible and what it truly means to be a Christian. Being in Church is about praising Jesus Christ and thanking him for what we have in our lives. In addition to the above: Firstly worship comes first. This involves praising God and thanking him for his love. It involves prayer, confessing what we have done wrong and receiving God's forgiveness. we sing - hymns, worship songs and other songs in praise or in prayer to god. Also, we hear the Bible read each time we meet, and explained, through a sermon or talk. At something called 'Holy Communion' ( a service held on some days) we re-enact Christ's last supper by breaking bread and drinking wine as a seal of his new covenant with us. In the bible jesus said 'do this to remember me' ...and so we do. In addition to worship, we have fun! We meet for social occasions - coffee after each service, for social gatherings like coffee mornings, meals, concerts, talks (on any topic - not just Christian), for trips (like the theatre - block bookings are cheaper!) weekends away as a group of Christians, suppers, games evenings, sports, and so on. Great friendships have been made in Christian social gatherings. We meet for study - for studying the Bible and what it means to be a Christian. We meet for courses introducing Christianity to others who are searching. We serve a local community (the area served by our church is on a run-down housing estate) through practical help, spiritual guidance and much prayer. We raise funds - not only for our own use as a church like heating, lighting etc (we do not have any income from any other sources except our own giving and by raising funds) but also in order that we can help others. We pledge at least 10% of our Church income for charity - both here and abroad, although we usually give more. As an example one of the 17 charities we helped last year was to help train a nurse in Zambia for just over a year. These are just a few of the activities in my own church.... who said that Christianity is boring?!
