Any hesitation in going to church is spiritual warfare from the devil himself. If you are apprehensive about going, introverted, lonely, you need to NUT UP.
Church is exactly the place you need to be if you have problems. There is a congregation of people meeting every Sunday who want nothing more of you than to love you unconditionally.
Here is everything you need to know:
>Worship service
Looks something like this: Singing, prayer, reading, offering, sermon, benediction.
Pick a seat anywhere. People will want to say hi and shake your hand.
Stand up and sit down when everyone else does.
Nobody is listening to your singing voice, don't worry about it. Sit out a verse if you don't know the song, try to learn the melody for the next one.
They don't want your money in the offering if you're new.
>Sunday school
Just a bible study in smaller groups, maybe organized by age group. This is the best way to meet people.
Show up during the sunday school hour and say "I'm looking for sunday school".
If there's no greeter, just Chad walk up to the room where you hear voices and ask "Is this sunday school?"
>Lord's supper (eucharist)
Don't take it if you're not already Christian.
Nobody will judge you for sitting out, they won't even notice anyway. It's not about you, it's about God.
<But I don't have good enough clothes
<But I'll embarrass myself
<But I have a sinful past
<But I can't kick the sin I'm stuck in
<But I know some of the people at that church, it will be awkward
Shut the hell up, stop being a faggot
Look at yourself in the mirror and say "get behind me satan"
God, the creator of the universe, wants you to follow Him, to understand his word, and to do His work. You can't do it alone, he designed you to be in a church.
I am praying for you.
