The Church

1. The Church is also known as the body of Christ, where Christians continue Christ's teachings on earth. The Church literally is an interesting type of building, which usually consists of a steeple, cool glass art, an organ, lots of seats, etc. It is a gathering place for Christians where they hear Christ's teachings and follow his example by teaching others, helping others and many other things. It is metaphorically Christ's body on earth, where all of the teachings Christians do are in the name of Christ and to serve Him. Two sacrements, Baptism and Eucharist come from Christ, where Baptism is the act by which people are accepted into the Church and perform Christ's work, and Eucharist is where Christians recieve the bread and wine of the Last Supper which symbolizes Christ being with them always.

2. One of the sacraments is prayer, where each Church has a place for praying to God. When they pray, they ask Him for his help with their lives or other types of things. In the church I go to (2-3 times a year if my mom doesn't make me go) there are comfortable pads to rest your knees on, because I don't think God would want it to be painful to pray. However, I do my best not to fall asleep on these comfty knee pads.
Another sacrament is confirmation. Confirmation is where Christians reaffirm their beliefs and to follow the teachings of Christ. Usually a bishop puts his hand on the person as a sign of the gifts from the Holy Spirit.
Some of the Churches focus on Bishops, who have a great amount of authority in the church and oversee everything. Some of the reformed churches don't have Bishops. The Bishop in my church is a pretty good speaker and doesn't bore me to death like the regular sermon does.
