Church etiquette

I can't believe I have to write a blog about proper behavior in church, but being that I live in a social cesspool, here it is.

1.  Do not let your hellions run up & down the aisle.  They are not cute, and nobody is amused by them.

2.  Do not sit there & have a conversation as if you're somewhere other than CHURCH!

3.  Do not talk during the Pastor's sermon or prayer.  Disrespectful!

4.  Stay in your own pew. Don't lean forward & rest on the pew in front of you, someone is SITTING THERE!

5.  If you are sick, then STAY HOME!  This goes for any situation, not just church.  Common sense people, come on!

5.  Please put money in the offering plate!  If you don't have much then throw in a dollar!

6.  Don't come to church just because there is a meal afterwards.

7.  Don't come to the meal without having come to church.  Yes I have witnessed this.

I know that there is more that I'm forgetting, so feel free to add your remarks.  Thank you, and happy church going!
