When visiting St. Matthew's Church, please consider the following guidelines:
1. Dress Appropriately: Out of respect for the religious setting, it's important to dress modestly. Avoid wearing revealing or casual clothing such as shorts, tank tops, or flip-flops.
2. Silence is Golden: Maintain a respectful silence within the church. Turn off or silence your mobile phones to avoid disturbing services or prayers.
3. Follow the Schedule: Check the church's schedule for services, tours, or events to ensure you visit at an appropriate time.
4. Respect the Sanctuary: Do not touch or move any religious artifacts or items within the church without permission.
5. Photography: If you wish to take photographs, make sure to check if photography is allowed and if there are any specific areas where it is prohibited.
6. Participate Respectfully: If you are attending a service, follow the lead of the congregation in terms of standing, sitting, and participating in prayers or hymns.
7. Offerings: If you feel inclined, you may make a donation to the church, but this is not mandatory.
8. Guided Tours: If available, consider joining a guided tour to learn more about the history and significance of the church.
9. Accessibility: If you have mobility issues, check in advance if the church is accessible or if there are any special accommodations available.
10. Cleanliness: Keep the church clean by not littering and disposing of any trash properly.
Please remember that these are general guidelines and specific rules may vary depending on the church's policies. It's always a good idea to check with the church directly for any specific instructions or requirements.
