Best time for a Sunday Service

Postby Puguni » Sun Jun 19, 2005 4:08 pm

I was wondering...I always go to the morning service, but I like the evening service a lot. It seems to be a thing at my church that the early you get up for church, the more pious you are.

So, what are you guys' preferences?

I like to go mid morning so I'm awake. Evening masses are nice, but it just feels like my day is on hold until I do go to Mass

Here, the Chinese churches are usually mornings only. At my church, it goes English congregation first, then Chinese (Cantonese) service after. The exception is when a church has an English, Cantonese and Mandarin congregation, in which case, mornings aren't long enough for three services and one will be in the afternoon, unless of course, they have enough room to hold two services at once.

I generally prefer mornings, because that way you are in an awesome mood for the rest of the day!

There are 3 serivces at my church:

8:30 ( almost no one comes XD, and this is a very big church)
10:15 (most popular service)
12:00 ( same as first but the worship is more intence)

Me being on A/V and Choir have to be there at all 3 >.>

For many years there were only morning services at my church but then about 6 years ago my church also began to have evening services. These were/are more youth/young adult oriented than the morning services. Therefore I enjoy going to church in the evening.

Morning services:

9:00am
10:00am

Evening service:
6:30pm

I prefer morning...that way I can go in the morning, come home, and relax the rest of the day. (Although by 'morning' I mean 10-ish)

I like the 7PM service, but my 2 younger kids are still in Sunday School so we go to 10AM. Besides, i'm in the 10AM service band every 2nd week.

I'm not incredibly picky, but I like morning services. But that's because I spring out of bed at like 8 and feel more alert than I do the whole rest of the day. And I dunno, I like the idea of giving God the first fruits of my day. Plus, I get sleepy after lunch and by evening I'm not as fresh and awake as I am early on. But like I said, I could care less about times as much as being in the Lord's presence as often as possible. ^^

I prefer morning too, but since my job doesn't always allow me sunday mornings off I wish my church held an evening service so I could go to church at some point in my week

I'm in agreement. Morning.

Morning is ideal. This way, the devil has less time to try to ruin our focus before the service. *kinda quoting pastor on that one*

I go to church in the morning, but I actually prefer evening services. Getting up early really messes me up. Too bad I do it, oh, every day. Hmm, that explains a lot...

I voted midnight just to be different and just because I had the feeling nobody else was going to. :lol:
Of course not too many people are gonna be awake at midnight but at least the people who show up for Sunday service at midnight are gonna show
up because they have a real desire to do it.
That and also because there's nothing on CN worth watching Sundays
at midnight(ok that was my superficial reason there :lol: ).
But to be serious it really doesn't matter what time we worship as long as we come with the right heart attitude of worshipping and loving God. :thumb:
