Distinct Features Of A Sunday Morning Church Service

By Eloise Hewitt


Most Christians gather every weekend to worship God. This is in line with the divine commandment. The essence of man is to be a worshipper of Him who created the universe and gave man dominion over it. When in the City Denver CO it would be worthwhile to attend a Sunday morning church service in one of the many establishments that are available.

To give a sense of direction, there are maps in the net that can assist you in locating a church of your choice. Also in the net are brief descriptions of the activities that take place in these houses of God on weekly basis. The schedule differs according to the principals that are laid by the particular establishment. In City Denver there are basically two categories of churches; non-denominational and denominational ones.

Denominational congregations start their services as early as six a. M. They follow the traditional practices of mainstream faiths like Catholic and Anglican. The program is characterized by many recitations of prayers like the Lords prayer and the prayer of St. Francis of Asisi. They also use hymns from special booklets.

The program begins with everyone standing up and the whole room turns into a music orchestra band. All kinds of songs are played here from classical to pop tunes. Christians drown into these songs to a point where they freely sing, jump and sing along as they are led by the praise team. As the music is softened, people are slowly being ushered into the world of worship. The world where sins are forgiven and spiritual thirst is quenched in fervent prayer.

As the other Christians are deep in prayer the pastor goes to the pulpit and leads them in a prayer that concludes the praise and worship session. As the clergy prays every statement is accompanied by Amen from the audience. Announcements are then made then those who have come to worship for the first time are recognized and welcomed. The man or woman of God then preaches the sermon very ferociously after which the final prayer is made.

The program officially begins when the praise and worship team tells the congregation to stand and join in the singing. Most of the time they start with fast beats which they call praise. These are received by the audience through jumping, dancing and singing their throats out. The rhythm then slows down and culminates into slow beats and melodious vocals that are called worship. This takes everybody in the building to a prayerful mood.

There are roughly three scripture readings. The padre then guides some orchestrated prayer sessions characterized by him saying some words and the audience making uniform replies. Women clergy are not allowed in these churches. The preaching is done in slow speech to bring a feeling of humility. Calmness and composure is expected of the congregation.

Majority of citizens in City Denver Colorado attend the non-denominational churches. However, the type notwithstanding, it is important to belong to a community of believers. Your spiritual needs will thus be met and you will feel that there are others standing by you. There is therefore no excuse for you not attending a service this Sunday morning.
