Présentation de l'éditeur

Have you ever wondered what church is all about? Ever found yourself in a service wondering what on earth is going on? And what the point of it all is? Whether you're completely new to church or have been coming to church for a while, this little book is here to help you! "What am I Doing Here?" is a beginner's guide to church, written by an ordinary pew-dweller who has asked the same questions as you. It uses the structure of the Holy Communion/Eucharist service to demonstrate that church is actually about meeting our deepest human needs, needs that are ultimately only satisfied in meeting with our Maker.
