World Religions Writing Project 1 First Church Visit I have grown up as a Hindu Indian‚ and as one who does not go to temple every week either. I have never been to any kind of a Catholic service.

The church building was like a large hall with comfortable chairs set out in a carpeted area facing a raised platform with two levels. My tour guide was the deacon of the church (Byron).

As you enter‚ you should be welcomed by a steward and be given a copy of the weekly notice sheet
