What is the Church? It is the voluntary gathering of people to FELLOWSHIP with one another in the LOVE of Christ, to SERVE God ACCEPTABLY and to WORSHIP God WORTHILY in spirit and truth. The service in the Church highlights the Christmas. In the morning it is called MASS – Celebration and Commemoration while in the evening – it is called BENEDICTION.
