* '''Prayer''': Worship was also a time of prayer. When the Bible recorded that Paul and Silas were looking for a place to keep the Sabbath worship, it described it as them “looking for a place of prayer.”<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Acts+16%3A13&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Acts 16:13|publisher= |quote=}}</ref> | * '''Prayer''': Worship was also a time of prayer.
