Where and when
Every Sunday
4:00 PM to 6:00 PM
Evening service शाम की आराधना
Seventh-day Adventist Church, Sector 41B, Chandigarh
We are a separate Pentecostal congregation meeting in these premises by arrangement. Ask for The Light of the World Church when you arrive.
Sunday mornings are in Zirakpur, about half an hour out along the Zirakpur–Chandigarh road: 9:00 AM in English and 10:00 AM in Hindi and English. Plenty of people try both for a few weeks before settling on one.
What an evening service is like
Two hours: singing, a message from the Bible, and prayer. You can sit through the whole of it without speaking to anybody, and nobody will think it strange.
We have not written up the Chandigarh evening in the detail we have for Zirakpur, because the two are not identical and we would rather say nothing than say something that turns out not to be true on the day.A Sunday in Zirakpur, step by step will still give you the shape of it.
Before you come
What time is the Sunday service in Chandigarh?
4:00 PM to 6:00 PM, every Sunday, in Sector 41B.
Where exactly in Chandigarh do you meet?
Seventh-day Adventist Church, Sector 41B, Chandigarh. We are a separate Pentecostal congregation meeting in those premises by arrangement, so ask for The Light of the World Church when you arrive.
Do I need to book, or dress a particular way?
No to both. Come as you are, dressed however you would dress to visit someone, and sit wherever you like. The back is a perfectly good place to start.
Is there a morning service instead?
Yes, in Zirakpur — 9:00 AM in English for an hour, and 10:00 AM in Hindi and English which runs to about 2:00 PM and ends with the church eating together. Plenty of people try both before settling.
Will anybody ask me for money?
Tithes and offerings are taken during the service and that is how the church runs, but visitors are not expected to give and nobody watches who does.
Will I be made to stand up or introduce myself?
Somebody will welcome you, and you will be offered a short form in case there is anything you would like us to pray about. Filling it in is entirely up to you, and nothing else is asked of you.
