Why Should We Go to Church on Sunday?

Third Prize

By Sara Lee Hamrick

We should go to church because it is our duty. The Bible tells us that Christ’s custom was to attend the synagogue on the Sabbath. If He is our Master, we should follow His example. We should also go because of the training that makes us better citizens. People who are brought up in the Church and Sunday School are seldom found in jail. This shows how attending church influences character.

Church services help us physically and spiritually. For the Bible says “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.”
