Glossary

Services
1)     Strictly speaking ‘Divine Services’ refer to the choir offices of Morning and Evening Prayer. However, in recent times ‘services’ refer to public acts of worship which usually take place in a church on a regular basis especially on a Sunday. They are open to all people whether they be believers or not and usually take the form of an ordered liturgy. If you do not regularly attend church then there should be a member of the congregation delegated to help you follow the service. Special services such as weddings, funerals, memorial services, thanksgivings etc. will often have a printed order, which is easy to follow.
