Oops I did not know!

Today we went to church early (7 am) and I notice some slight changes such as there are dress codes now being implemented in the church. I was wearing shorts at the time and I did not realize that it is improper clothing. Well the shorts I am wearing is not really very very short so it does not concerned me. When we are already inside my sister had whispered to me that my attire is not allowed during mass. But I cannot do anything about it since our house is not that near from the church and I want to attend the mass. I do not normally wear shorts in the church but due to the increasing number of people who wears it other churches like the ones in Singapore, I thought that hey my get-up is not half as indecent as them. But then while I was queuing for my turn for communion, the lay minister told me that I cannot receive host because of what I am wearing and that I should go back next time. Well I immediately went back to my seat embarrassed but I realize that is just right because that shows how serious they are in implementing this very good policy. But then I think I should have been given a first warning considering that I have not gone to that church for a year now. I hope that other churches will also have such policy and that people start dressing decently in mass.
