The Christian Worship Service

is a wonderful, special event. It is a little like a “club meeting,” and a “family reunion,” but it far exceeds them. There will be announcements (printed/verbal) “housekeeping” but important in their own way. With them out of the way the service moves on to the meat. All truly Christian Worship gatherings include singing. Grand old hymns can swing wide the door into the very presence of the Almighty. So much could be said about these gems of Christianity. True hymns center on Him. Sing them attempting to climb into their deep messages. Many of them were penned with tears flowing down the cheeks of the writer. A Worship service always includes prayer – the best such are congregations which practice a symphony of prayer, each soul verbally or silently blending his “instrument” into a full and beautiful sound to our Father. There maybe a time for listening to solo prayers but just as congregational singing should not be replaced by vocalists, congregational prayer needs to stay.
