There are many areas in life where structure is helpful, and being part of a religious community can be one of them. Most people might think solely of the gathering once a week, but many religions have other times when members attend church. Services are generally held at least once a week on that religion’s Sabbath day, but activities are often held every other day. Each time members participate in these routines, they can feel a sense of structure in their life. Even just the routine of attending a service can help them begin to feel their life has form and meaning.
