Another potentially misleading statement, by the way, is "what you would wear to church." In many parts of the country the old tradition of getting "dressed up" (in a conservative way) for church is rapidly disappearing.

Amen (no pun). I realize you may work on a farm, but for crying out loud, change out of the jeans with the udder spillage on them. We used to say church attire = pin attire - well, if I saw women in some of the things I've seen in church, I think it would take all I had not to rip that pin off. The problem is these are the children of the parents who thought it was so cute to put Junior in the overalls and baby Nikes 24/7. If kids get used to dressing up once a week when they are little, they won't mind so much. I know God doesn't care what you wear - but you should show that respect, nonetheless.
I think we should have photos of appropriate pin/ritual attire, and/or list explicitly what can or cannot be worn.
