A few days ago we attended our first Sunday meetings at church while
in the Philippines. We were able to understand most of what was said
and really enjoyed it. The talks were a
mixture of English, Tagalog and Taglish. The Bishop taught the 3rd hour because
it was 5th Sunday. First let me back up to Sacrament meeting. Several
children had left the side of their parents and we're playing in the back of
the church. They were somewhat noisy but
not any more than at our home ward when the children are playing on their mom's
lap. The Bishop sent the young Deacon that was seated beside him to
gather the children and take them back to their parents. Now proceed
to the topic for 5th Sunday. This could and maybe should be done in
all wards.
Reverence at Church
1 set example to your
children and those around
2 teaching reverence
starts at home
3 take time in the home
to teach the children why we attend church
4 feed your family a
good breakfast (at home, not when you are at church)
5 teach your children
that we do not eat during church
6 remind our children
that church lasts 3 hours
7 before leaving for
church pray for help at being reverent
8 arrive early at all
meetings so you can be ready, sit with your family, listen to prelude, do not
let your children run around
9 go to the CR (comfort
room) before or after meetings, not during
10 turn off cell phones,
turn off you mouth
11 help others to maintain
reverence by helping with their children
12 show respect for the
lord and other people, stay in class, pay attention
13 show reverence and
respect by helping maintain the chapel
I just thought you might like to know, the church is the same
everywhere and TRUTH is TRUTH no matter where you are.
