Although we have church buildings ‘the church’ is really made up of the people who are the worshipping family. 

So what do church families do?

Ephesians 5:19: Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs.

Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord.

Ephesians 6:18: Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion…

The Bible

2 Timothy 3:16:All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.

The Preacher

Helps the people to understand what the bible says about how we can have lives that are connected to God.

Ephesians 4:32: Be kind and compassionate to one another

Communion or Eucharist is when people eat bread and drink wine, to remember Jesus and the things he said and did.

Ephesians 4:5:one Lord, one faith, one baptism

Churches baptise (or Christen) babies and people who are old enough to decide for themselves that they want to be followers of Jesus.

Churches also have thanksgiving and naming services for parents who do not want their baby baptised, but who want a special service of blessing for their child.

Churches help people to celebrate their love for each other by enabling them to make the promises of marriage, before God and their family and friends.

Churches have funerals to  help people to say goodbye to their loved one and, find comfort in the hope God gives for the future.

John 3:16 

For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
