Have you ever wondered how people should or shouldn’t act while they are at church?  Is there a manual for certain behaviors that should be allowed or disallowed?  Well if you are thinking any of these thoughts, you should consider this.  God’s House deserves the most respect of any house there is.  In church you learn about God.  Therefore when you in church, you should consider yourself in God’s presence and act like you are in a holy place.   How serious do you take church?  What reasons are you here for?  All of these questions and others will be discussed this week, so don’t miss out…..you need this!
 
“Be careful how you act in God’s House!”

PRAISE BAND
Praise band will meet at 5:45 this week for practice.  Please be on time. 

Is there a wrong way to worship the Lord?  What if no one else is doing it?  I don’t want to look dumb when I worship the Lord my way and no one else is participating. 
Do you ever ask yourself any of these questions?
Have you ever felt the need to say “Amen” during a powerful message you’ve heard?  Do sometimes during a song, you just want to raise your hands to God and reach for Him?  What is accepted and what isn’t?  We will answer all of these questions and discuss what the Bible says about worshipping this week.

Do you find it difficult to talk about the Bible, God, or your faith in public places?  Are you ashamed to speak out about your God and talk about the Gospel to your friends when you are at school, work, or in the shopping mall?  The Bible tells us not to be ashamed to testify about our Lord.  It is important in the eyes of God to see us spreading his Good News and letting the world know that we belong to Him.

This week begins a 5 week study called “Learn By Doing”.  My goal is to let you see the importance of being able to do the things we learn in church.  This study will include 5 parts:
Prayer,
Witnessing, Worshipping and Singing, Serving, and Sharing the Gospel in public.  As we begin this week with Prayer, we will look at the model prayer given to us in the Bible on how to pray and then demonstrate in our own words how you can learn to pray.  Prayer is a big part of growing closer to God and is very important for everyone to learn how.
