When we go to worship or even before we go, the Holy Spirit is within us always.
But when we go to worship, we are not going to the place where the Holy Spirit is. There is no going to the Holy Spirit since He is already within you always.
There are spirits in the world that would love to masquerade as the "Holy Spirit" and so that is why the Holy Spirit is not to be worshipped in the worship place, and why all invitations points to the Son in coming to God.
This is God's way of assuring that none of the spirits in the world will ever take the spotlight in the worship service because the real Holy Spirit would never seek the spotlight when the name of Jesus is above every other name.
A divided hope is an insecure hope and thereby lacking the necessary assurance for that singular hope to be hope.
Let nothing divide your hope in Jesus. Colossians 1:20-23
