Get up in the morning anticipating a great service.
Plan your day so as not to permit anything to keep you from attending.
Call someone and ask them to come with you.
Pick someone up in your car and bring them to service.
Prepare your heart and mind with repentance.
Arrive early enough to pray before service begins.
Greet visitors with a smile and a handshake.
Avoid talking about heavy or unspiritual subjects before service.
Encourage others to get everything they can from the service.
Sit as close to the front as you can.
Focus on worshipping.
Do not watch the clock.
Actually worship with special singers instead of making them entertain you.
Refuse to allow your mind to wander or become distracted.
Conquer nervousness, impatience and the “fidgets” during the service.
Don’t allow a thoughtless word or act by someone ruin the service for you.
Don’t get up and walk out.
Stay aware of the needs of visitors during the service.
Remain sensitive to the Holy Spirit throughout the service.
Continually ask God to apply the Word to your life.
Intercede for souls at the close of the message.
