What should I expect at a funeral service at a Christian Fellowship church?

[fatzak]

One of the boys in my class has sadly lost his father and I have been asked to attend the service at the church. His dad was very involved in church and was an Elder. There is a possibility that I will take some of his classmates and I'd like to be able to explain to them how the service will go. Any helpful mnetters who can help? I have this irrational fear of saying or doing the wrong thing at the wrong time

A Christian Fellowship just means any church that's Bible believing and probably less formal than a mainstream church like a Church of Scotland or England.

The church where I worship was a Christian Fellowship until last year when we changed our name to a Baptist church. We meet in a village hall, so no pews/hymns/bells and smells etc. Just a few songs, prayer, talk from someone and tea and cakes at the end.

There will most likely be very little structure and a lot of emphasis on the Bible and prayer.

you'll be fine if you just keep an eye on everyone around you and do what they do (unless they start swinging from the rafters)

Dh's Fellowship was part of a network of very similar style churches. But others are just called "fellowship' for want of a better word really. there are no hard and fast rules here, except it means this man was most likely a strong, convicted Christian with a firm belief in going to Heaven rather than just a church goer.

Does that make any sense?

Yes, thank you
