Is Your "Main" Sunday Service AM or PM?
 
If your church still has a Sunday morning and Sunday evening service which one is considered your main service?

Which one does your choir sing in?

Have you seen any change in recent years in which service is considered the main one on Sunday?

I think the church here is one of the only ones in the metro area that still has church on Sun nights. The morning service is the same it has been for almost 20 years. Sunday night is the biggie...

That really depends. AM is the main service for the "outer court" people and the PM is the main for the "inner court" people :)

Our Sunday Night service is our main service.

The church I go to has only one service on Sunday and it is in the morning. It starts at 10:30 an finishes around noon. During part of the service children go to children's church.

We have a Wednesday night service, actually 3 separate services on Wednesday night.
Super Kids' church (about 80 or 90 kids) meet in the auditorium after pizza.
Youth service is in the basement. I think they have about 50 there.
Adult Bible Study is in an upstairs Sunday School Room.

We only have Sunday morning service and that makes me sad. We do still have Wednesday night bible study, but it's not a Sunday night service.

Same here. chior and shockamoo on Sun night. But numbers are about the same for both.

I missed them both today... had a family "reunion" for lunch and am now in St Louis for two days of business meetings.

It's almost as good, but not quite. We have 10am Sunday School. Then 11am worship. We seem to usually be out by 12:15, which is really no longer than the Sunday mornings we had 10 years ago. It just feels too short. But, years ago when I was a teenager in MS and Bro. Hoyt would get going we wouldn't leave Sunday night service until well after 10pm. And we started at 6pm.

Yes. St. Florian, the patron Saint for the keeper of the chimneys was present!

We have at 9:30 Adult Bible Class in the fellowship hall and in the educational wing their is a service we call The Journey, it is attened by the 20 somethings. It's cafe style with two young guys leading worship with guitars.

At 10:30 we have our morning worship in the auditorium.

I like it that way.

I did the two service thing on Sundays for years and I must confess I enjoy the occasional sunday evening off.

We have most of staff fmeetings on Sunday afternoons and i am involved in almost everyone of them.

Today was a 3 1/12 hour core meeting from 2 to 5:30

So much for us charismatics never going to church.

I also lead a home friendship group on Wed evenings

At this time, we only have a Sunday Morning Service which begins at 10:30. We do have Sunday School from 9:45 until 10:30. We usually get out between 12:00 and 12:30, just depending on how long winded I am and how the Holy Ghost moves in the midst of His people. Sunday Morning is by far, my favorite time of the week!

I've thought about beginning a Sunday Night Service, but I'm not ready for that as of yet.

Well...for the last year and a half, we have not had a choir. Actually going to re-vamp it and start again August 27th. They will be singing at our morning service. We will be having specials for our evening service.

We have two services on Sunday. We have the traditional service with Sunday School and classes. Most of our visitors come on Sunday AM. We also have a PM service where our choir sings.
