By Marissa Velazquez


Most churches conduct their services on Sundays. The mode of conducting them differs depending on believers and their denominations. There are a number of formalities of going about the services. The formalities can be changed to suit the occasions. The Sunday morning church service is commonly conducted by a priest or the local pastor in charge of church in question.

Churches have special programs that have to be followed. The programs define what is to be in a specific period. These programs differ depending on the denomination. While most have their services on Sundays, the worshiping on Sabbath may have taken root in different parts of the globe. Worshiping on the Sabbath day is one of practices in which the believers worship their gods on the Sabbath day. Their faith and the way of doing things do not differ greatly with other religions.

A special team in charge of all the church matters is elected by the congregation. The congregation holds an election session during which the believers choose who they want to be their leaders. The team then selects a pastor or a priest. The team formulates a calendar of events for the church. A worship team to lead the church in worshiping and prayers is also selected.

In most denominations, the Christians gather of Sunday for worship and prayer sessions. The worshiping sessions are guided through by a special team. This team chooses the number of songs too be included in the session. The team leads others in the session as they worship their God. This is then followed a sermon and a prayer session. A pastor in most cases leads these sessions.

The Bible is the main book form which the Christians derive their teachings. The Bible is a collection of holy books written by a number of inspired characters. It collects different stories which are mainly about their experiences in spreading the gospel. The Old Testament dwells on how God saved the ancient generations while the New Testament deals in the spreading of the holy gospel. Depending on the day, the teachings and the prayers are derived from the collection of stories.

The early preachers found in the Old Testament paved way for the new creed of apostles found in the New Testament. As opposed to the early Christians whose main work was to save the older generations form wrath of God, the newer apostles had a mission to spread the gospel. This was the main in the way of converting the non-believers into Christians. The apostles also worked miracles in the event that the non-believers were not contented. The healing of the crippled laid foundation for the modern Christianity.

Most of believers gather on certain occasions. The prayer sessions are one of the times of gathering. During such occasions each of the members in the congregation is given a special time slice to share their life experiences. The prayer sessions are very special for a group of believers. Praying together is seen as way of strengthening the power of beliefs.

The Sunday morning church service also acts as way of sharing their life experiences. Some churches invite each and everyone to share their life experiences with other believers. Through these sessions, they draw strength and courage from tribulations and harsh experiences of others. Sharing culminates in a joint prayer begging for holy protection.
