What is service like there. I've only went to Catholic service which is the guy reads some stuff says some stuff we kneel cross ourselves etc etc.
At ours, we sit down in our pews, an old guy comes up along with a small band of the church's instrument players (a pianist and a bass guitarist), he tells us a hymn to sing from the hymnal we have in our pews, we sing, we repeat this a few times with different hymns, we then rise back up from our seats once we're done singing and spend a few minutes greeting one another for the morning, shaking hands and providing simple chatter for the moment, we sit back down, the pastor then comes up, tells us a section of scripture to read from (usually the part of an epistle), we'll turn to it, he'll read it aloud, we'll pray, he'll go on a long talk for about half an hour of how the chapter or individual verses ultimately relate to loving and living for God, we'll pray again, we may sing an individual stanza of another hymn, we'll return to prayer for a moment, we'll then all eventually rise from our seats as the pastor ends his spoken prayer, he'll thank us for attending the service, and one of the elderly fellows who has attended the church for decades will then close the service with a final prayer in praise of God, where we'll afterward depart.
