Worship

Yes, at church on Sundays - but also in small groups in homes, and at big celebration events. I'm going to an event where there will be 4,000 people - in one very big room. My daughter worships at a Christian youth event called Soul Survivor (link!), with 8,000 other teenagers. Sunday is the most popular day to meet and worship God, but any day will do. Of course, Christians can worship God on their own as well ... and frequently do!

Variety is the key word here. Christian worship can be quiet or loud. It can include singing, prayers, or thoughtful silence. There can be thousands worshipping together, or just one person alone. Worship can involve any combination of instruments, and any musical style from 'church' music to pop and rock music. You can sit, kneel, stand, lift your hands, sing, shout and even dance. King David, in the Bible, did all these things. God loves it all!
