When I was younger my mum bought me a really lovely bag. It was the perfect bag for my age. She called it “Kella’s church bag”. Every Sunday I held this bag and walked proudly into my children’s church. As I grew older church bag became my thing. I have different church bags(in different colors and sizes).
I bet you might be wondering what’s is a church bag? What do we even put in this bag?You want to know…I bet you do.
Simply put, a church bag is a bag for Church. It’s a bag or purse with all your essentials for a comfortable and focused worship experience.
Why do you need a church bag/purse?
A bag is best for keeping your personal belongings. You need a church bag to keep all your essentials. A bag is also an accessory,it compliments your outfit and make you look chic.
Here’s a suggested list of things every christian girl should have in her church bag:
1. Bible:
This is a must! If you are planning on attending church service on Sunday you need a Bible to follow along with the scriptures.
2. Notebook or Journal: I highly recommend you take notes during the sermon or jot down thoughts and prayers. You will need a notebook/journal for this. It can be a simple notebook or a fancy journal. It’s all up to do.
3. Pens/Pencils: You definitely need a pen for note-taking and marking passages in your Bible or journal.
4. Devotional Book: This is just an additional spiritual reading material for personal reflection.
5. Water Bottle: Staying hydrated is important, especially during longer services or events. Don’t forget your water bottles y’all.
6. Tissues/napkins: They come handy for unexpected moments or emotional times during worship.
7. Hand Sanitizer: This is not a must but COVID taught us the importance of hand hygiene. Keeping your hands clean is particularly relevant in communal settings.
JOIN THE FAMILY!
8. Headphones: If you have a worship playlist or want to listen to calming music before or after the service then you will need your headphones/earpiece.
9. Offering Envelope: Some churches have envelops for tithes and offerings. If your church uses physical envelopes for offerings,ensure you have one in your bag.
10. Snack: Church Services in Africa takes time.Therefore, A small, non-disruptive snack can be helpful for maintaining focus, especially during longer services.
11. Sweater/Shawl: Depending on the temperature of the church and the weather, having an extra layer can be practical.
12. Phone/Device Charger: Ensure your devices are charged, especially if you use them for reading scriptures or taking notes.
