What's Your Favorite Religious Activity

[prisonchaplain]

Do you like to pray (privately, or corporately), study, listen to teaching (or teach yourself), sing,...what's your favorite religious activity?

In my case, I enjoy discussion-rich Bible studies. They are not so much "what do you think this verse means," discussions, as they are people sharing experiences they have had living out the truths being taught. Great stuff. "Iron sharpens iron."

My favorite would be singing.

And yes I can sing.

[checkerboy]

I like to read. Scriptures, church books, conference talks, Ensign. Next to that would be probably singing. I am in my ward choir, just don't ask me to do a solo.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned tithing yet.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned tithing yet.

Is that collecting the tithe or giving it?

My favourite religious activity is to get out alone with God deep in his creation and walk and pray and walk and pray.....

[tiancum]

my fav activity is getting answers to my prayers.

I love talking about the gospel too.

[siouxz72]

I would have to say my favorite activities are singing hymns and teaching my primary class. I love those little kids and they love to learn about the Gospel. It's just such greatness! I also really like to get out in his creation and wonder at the marvels of nature. It's all so beautiful. I can't believe He loves us so much as to create this beautiful world...it's all so awe inspiring!

this is a great thread as usual PC. :)

We don't really do in-depth Bible study in my Church, so I can't tap into that feeling Prisonchaplin has going on. Not much in the way of discussion either, but I can very well understand the appeal. The closest we LDS have to this, is the internet. To me, it is a great adjunct to the 3 hour tour.

I suppose I like the communion with God aspect of the weekly Sacrament, the best.

Scripture study and prayer are mine.

In my opinion, if classes you attend at your ward are void of good discussion and comment then you are as at fault as all the others in attendance. If you listen to the spirit and have a good understanding of the topic, you can help the teacher bring the discussion much further through good questions. I try to do it with questions rather than comments because comments get nods, but questions get discussion.

I must be careful here that I am not misunderstood. A few years back I had taken my children Christmas shopping. On our way home we passed a small strip mall and I had a strong spiritual impression to turn into that mall parking lot. I passed by and the impression came upon me so storngly I pulled over the car and told my children that we must go back. They were all tired and hungry and cold and wanted to go home but I told them we must go back and I did not know why. Can you emagine telling teenagers that?

After driving back and entering the parking lot my children complained that there were no stores or anywhere to shop and this was a great wast of time. We drove around a corner to a place out of view and suddenly we all saw why we were there. An elderly lady lay still on icey pavement not moving. She had slipped on the ice getting out of her car and had hit her head - there was blood. She was large, about twice my size but I picked her up and put her in our car. She was crying and said that she had been praying for a long time, perhaps an hour for help while she was freezing unable to get up. I had my son drive her car and we took her home. I called her daughter on my cell phone and waited at the home of the lady for the daughter before leaving to go home.

Many times I have talked to my children about this religious activity. We all agree that this religious activity (called service) is our favorite.

Hearing the still, small voice of the Spirit, and having the courage to obey...there's a spiritual activity that is precious, and so oft neglected. Excellent!

[Holly3278]

I don't know if it's a religious activity or not but I like to pass out pass along cards. I kind of want to be a missionary later on as I am a member for longer.
