PL CEREMONIES AND SERVICES

• SUNDAY SERVICE - time is vary depends on each Church.

  Each week through the Sunday Service, we have the special
  opportunity to receive Oshieoya-sama's blessing and to deepen
  our faith in PL. Although we may think, "I know PL teachings,"
  without weekly contact with Oshieoya-sama, we can easily get
  side-tracked. Just as we must eat and sleep regularly to refresh
  our bodies, we must come in contact with Oshieoya-sama regularly
  to renew our faith.
  
  PL faith grows not through intellectual understanding but by actively
  participating in PL devotions. We can participate in PL devotion by
  giving testimonies of our own Oyashikiri experiences, the experiences
  of practicing PL teachings, and by listening to the testimonies of other
  members. In addition, by receiving the sermon at the Sunday Service, we
  embody PL teachings and are able to practice them in our everyday life.
  
  Oshieoya-sama purifies us through the Sunday Service so that we are
  able to start the new week with fresh, pure minds. Members of PL are
  strongly urged to participate in the Sunday Service. If you live too far
  from Church so that you cannot attend Sunday Service, contact the Church
  at least once a week to receive Oshieoya-sama's blessing.
