Church Etiquette
One of the most important obligations that we have as worshippers attending the Divine Liturgy is to maintain respectability so that all of the members of the congregation may pray sincerely, peacefully, and meaningfully. It is with this in mind, that we set forth the following guidelines:
- Please turn off or mute cell phones.
- Please do not cross your legs in church.
- Please dispose of chewing gum before entering church.
- Please come to church on time. It is only by leniency that anyone is allowed to enter the Church once the Service has begun.
- Conversations should not take place during the service, either in the Narthex or in the pews.
- Proper attire is expected: no shorts, no bare shoulders, respectful length of skirts and dresses, proper shoes.
- Reverence and good manners are required so as not to disturb those who are already engaged in prayer, but even more importantly, as an expression of sincere faith and awareness of the presence of our Lord.
As for when to stand during the service, one good basic rule to follow is whenever the Priest is OUTSIDE OF THE ALTAR (with the Censer or giving a Blessing), everyone should stop and stand reverently wherever they are.
LITURGY BOOKS are available in the pews to follow the Divine Liturgy in both English and Greek.
