#Overview

This child article gives the sacramental and seasonal material a stable place so worship studies can point back to the constitutional directory cleanly.

How baptism, the Lord's Supper, and ordered observances belong to the worship directory.

#Key topics

  • Sacraments
  • Baptism
  • Lord's Supper
  • Seasons

These topics mark the doctrinal and navigational center of the page 1.

  • Baptism and Admission — How baptism belongs to the church's worship and to admission into the visible communion of the church.
  • Lord's Supper and Observance — How the Lord's Supper and other ordered observances fit into the worship life of the congregation.

Use these child pages to move from the overview into narrower study units 1.

#Worship ordered by Scripture

The directory frames public worship as a matter of reverence, biblical shape, and congregational edification rather than invention or display 1.

#Ordinary elements, sacraments, and prayer

The child pages below separate the ordinary elements of worship from the sacramental and prayer-order material so readers can study each lane without losing the whole.

#Study note

This branch is designed to guide worship study from general principles into the directory's ordinary practice.
