Church worship services are an organized, structured meeting with God. Worship services combine many elements of approaching God, like praise, prayer, thanksgiving, music, and communion. Praise is a form of adoration and it is an integral part of worship. Praise is the verbal recognition of God s greatness and mercy. We can praise God in several ways, with music and singing, with uplifted hands, with testimony to His greatness or simply by speaking His praises.
Thanksgiving is an important part of worship.
Here we acknowledge all the things that God has done for us and offer Him our thanks. This is a joyful part of our worship. Joy is an excellent form of worship in its own right. So is the sharing of the word of God. Many of our hymns are derived from the Scriptures and carry a message that bears attention.
