Before they take that nervous step of darkening the door, they usually back out because they don't want to look awkward or out of place. This is silly because everyone looks out of place at church. Anyway, this primer is for them. I don't have anything to wear to church. Seriously, church is not the formal affair that it once was.
People wear long or short pants, sandals, and open collar shirts.
Anything clean and not provocative is in style. Churches differ in their approach to children. The only kids you really notice are your own. This means that everybody else is only noticing their own kids too. In other churches, a few heads turning around and looking at you is a dead tip-off to take your child out to the lobby until he or she calms down.
