GESTURES WE USE IN CHURCH There are, of course many other hand gestures. We sometimes fold our hands in prayer. Some Christians genuflect toward the communion table/altar upon entering their pew as a matter of respect to the "body and blood of Jesus." Others use the sign of the cross to remind them of Christ’s death for them. Some Christians insist on bowing their heads for prayer, or removing their hats. A few churches still call worshippers to kneel in submission as they pray. Then there are the many adaptations of the above list: like raising hands at half-staff or extending them at waist-level. Some join hands across the aisles, or extend their hands toward someone we are praying for in the congregation as a visual representation of extending prayers to that person. There are certainly others too. Aren't you glad we have the freedom of worship in America?  (¯`•♥•´¯) ¤`•.♥.•´ ¤ (¯`•♥•´¯) |

And freedom in Australia too!!! I worship with my heart, and whatever I feel to do in that beautiful time I do!!! Not because it is the done thing or because it is fashionable..... sometimes I just feel to sit and be still, not doing anything but meditating on God and his awesomeness... Good to see you again Sheri   Netty  Lying in bed would be a truely supreme experience if only I had a coloured pencil long enough to draw on the ceiling

everybody raises thier hands all the time at my church. it reminds me a little bit of when people used to hold a lit lighter up in the air for tribute at a rock concert. i prefer to put my hands out at my side, i don't know why, i just do. i have been going to another church on saturday nights sometimes. the pastor there, and many of the congregation do the hands at thier sides thing too. some others in the congregation raise thier hands as well.
