When you begin attending weekly church services, it's important to know that you don't need to show up right before the service begins. While there are lots of congregation members who enter the building and take their seats at the last minute, others choose to arrive early. At many churches, the organist or pianist will begin to gently play some music well in advance of the service's start time. Arriving roughly when the music begins or shortly thereafter gives you a chance to not only enjoy the music but also experience these things.
