Tips For Properly Attending The Church Service

By Cornelia White


If people wants to strengthen their faith to the Almighty Lord, then they should consider attending Staten Island church services. With the said service, they can hear the Holy Scripture being preached by the priest of pastor. By simply hearing and assimilating the Holy Scripture, the person can gain salvation for himself or herself.

Normally, people can just go inside and attend the service without any worries. However, there are times when people cannot really go inside because they are scared. They are also shy since they do not know what to do with so many people around. If the person wants to listen to the Holy Scripture, here are some tips one can use to attend the event.

First, it should be a give that there is a dress code that one must follow to participate in the service comfortably. Dress as nicely and cleanly as possible. Wearing a semi-formal attire is enough for the said event. There is no need to obtain a tuxedo or a cocktail dress just for this.

It should be helpful for the person to know what clothes should one avoid wearing. For some churches, they will surely prohibit their attendees on wearing clothes that expose too much skin. This will include short shorts and mini skirts. Strapless blouses, tank tops, spaghetti strapped blouse, and such are prohibited too.

So many people are afraid of the high number of people who attend the service. They hate attention so they do not want to do anything that might cause the others to look at them. That is why, it is fine if people comes in a little bit later than the start of the service.

Do not be too noisy when entering. This is a holy place which will require the attendees to be solemn. If the person noisily enters the place, this will just unnecessarily catch the attention of everyone in the place. Moreover, other people will look at the newcomer who entered noisily with a reprimanding look on their face.

The person should also choose the right seat for him to have. For those who attend the service frequently, they should know that the front row are meant for those who will read the gospel or those who belong to the choir. Some of the ones who sit here are penitent sinners too. The best place to sit in is the middle row or the back row seat.

If the person is not familiar on the process for the entire service, then it is only appropriate to follow what everyone else is doing. One can just mimic the action of the one who is sitting in front of him or her. With this, the person does not have to stand out. Moreover, one can go through the service without worries.

Hymns are important part of this service. Learn a lot of hymns, especially the commonly used ones in the Staten Island church. If the person is not familiar with the song or is not aware of what the lyrics are, then refers to the projected lyrics that one can see in a screen or at the big wall of the said holy place.
