1) COME. Never miss church unless it is
absolutely necessary. George Washington's pastor said of him, "No company ever
kept him from church."
2) COME EARLY. Rushing into church at the
last minute is not conducive to true worship.
3) COME WITH YOUR WHOLE FAMILY. "The
church service is not a convention that a family should merely send a
delegate."
4) TAKE A PLACE TOWARD THE FRONT OF CHURCH.
Leave the rear seats for those who may come late, and for backsliders, and
mothers with children.
5) BE DEVOUT. The church is not a theater or
place of amusement. You come to worship God, not to whisper, lounge or sleep.
God's house deserves our very utmost reverence.
6) HELP STRANGERS TO FIND AND FOLLOW THE
SERVICE. If they have no book, share yours with them. Sing! Join in the
worship! Don't just sit!
7) ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT STRANGERS ARE THE
GUESTS OF THE CHURCH MEMBERS. Treat them with the same courtesy as you would if
they should visit in your home.
8) GIVE A GOOD OFFERING TO GOD. God loveth a
cheerful giver. Freely ye have received.
9) NEVER RUSH FOR THE DOOR after benediction
as though the church were on fire. Speak and be spoken to. Be congenial.
10) NEVER STAY AWAY FROM CHURCH BECAUSE THE
CHURCH IS NOT PERFECT. How lonesome you would feel in a perfect church.
