Stand and sing
Clap after someone talks or something important happens
Use instruments to drowned out voices
Sing quieter
Everyone sits wherever they want
Can wear whatever we want
Sing for 20 min maybe
Its only 1-2 hours
Kids go to classes and all ages sit where they want.
Have a plan to practice what we sing every week
We don’t dance-usually people are embarrassed
Do communion
We pass around a bag for offering, down each aisle
Don’t need a translator
Pastor stands in front on a stage.
People don’t put a random baby on your lap
We have new people all the time- still care
We have multiple services
Everyone drives to church
We have one person pray and everyone else listens
We clean church with a custodian and it’s a job.
We shake hands
　
SWAZILAND:
Sit and sing
Don’t clap after someone talks or something important happens.
Don’t have instruments
Just voices ( really loud and amazing)
Boys and girls sit on different sides- boys on the right, girls on the left.
Girls always wear skirts, boys dress up
Sing for at least an hour
Church last 3-4 hours
All the kids stay in church (sit smallest in front to the older gogos in the back)
Don’t have structured songs/ whoever wants to start a song does
Always moving-dancing when they sing.
Don’t do communion
When they do offering girls side goes up first and then boys side and they all bring up their money and put it in a basket on a table in the front.
Its normal to have a translator
Pastor gets really into the message and yells and walks down the aisle.
Hold random peoples children during service (they might pee on you)
Strong community- everyone knows everyone and genially cares.
Church starts at 11- only 1 service
Walk to church
When they pray everyone prays OUTLOUD!
Keep the church very clean-(volunteers) pride in waxing the floor every day.
They give hugs to say hello!
