The interior of the Saal, or chapel, shows us that the members were seated similarly as depicted in the image of the Pietist Collegium, held during a convention of members, known as a  Conventicle.  At Ephrata, the men all sat on the right side and the women sat on the left.
 
 
 
 
 

The religious services of Ephrata consisted of reading from the Book of John, Chapter 13 with comment by members; the beautiful hymns sung by the members; the washing of feet in a symbolic way—the Love Feast—a meal eaten together at a table, in communion such as the Last Supper related in the Christian Bible.
