How to Worship at Home
When you can’t come to church, please have worship and a prayers service at home. Do so in the following order.
★ When you pray with your family members, the responsible family head will take an initiative.
1. Hymnal.
2. Opening prayers
3. Hymnal.
4. Offering (Each family prepares an offering bag and collects offerings at the table.)
5. Reading out the Bible or devotion guide
6. Bringing up prayers’ requests (prayers’ request in the weekly bulletin, etc.)
7. (In the case of many members) Praying for the requests in a pair.
l We will recommend you “Psalms” if you don’t know what to read in the Bible.
l You can use “Reiso” (the spiritual thoughts) column in the bulletin and Pastor S. Amari’s books (i.e. “The Baptist”, “The Plants in the Bible”, “God’s Wonderful Creation”, “Kibou no tomoshibi” series, etc.) as a devotional guide.
Keep worships at everyone’s home, while looking forward to worshiping with brothers and sisters face to face.
