Actions are an important form of worship – in order to show respect for God, someone might kneel.

Some Christians make the sign of the cross over their bodies to remember that Jesus died for them.

Some Christians raise their hands towards heaven showing that they want to let God into their lives.

To show their love for God, Christians also emphasise helping those in need.

Services are usually full of words.

Some services follow a set pattern and others will be made up by people.

People will take part in prayers, such as the Lord’s Prayer. They will listen to the Bible readings – the Word of God and will listen to a sermon – the minister or priest explaining and teaching.

Music plays an important part in church worship. Sometimes music is traditional and peaceful. At other times it is more lively. Different people prefer different approaches.

At the same time silence is important. It is important to give people space to communicate with God.
