REVIVAL: Every night or Regular Service Nights?
 

None of the above.... Thursday - Sunday. But all of those are regular service times except Friday being thrown in the middle.

Our Church has two revivals a year one spring, one fall. Tuesday - Thursday and Sunday. Very, Very Very Seldom more than one week.
Usually, DIfferent Preachers for them. However last year we had Bro. Gary Legg from SD for Both. He is one of the greatest preachers in our movement.

S'fast,

when i was very young, we had revival EVERY NIGHT! Then, they started giving us monday night off and worried that we might backslide between sunday and tuesday LOL LOL
NOW you can't hardly get folks to one mid week service let alone a weeklong revival.

some of our revivals lasted for months. i do not know how we did it but we did and the people loved it - those were the good ole days

Yes the pastors,if they have to preach more then three times a week now they think there working to hard and they need double pay if they have to knock doors.

I remember fondly those weeks long revivals. :) The longest one I can remember having was for 6 weeks straight, my pastor back then did not believe in "rest" nights LOL

The church I attend now holds it's revivals from Sunday to Tuesday nights usually.

I really miss how it used to be.

I remember the days when revival went for weeks with no "rest days" (and then sometimes MORE weeks) :ouch Some of the less fortunate women had a problem with their hair - I can even remember women coming to church on Saturday nights with their hair newly washed, rollers in it and a scarf tied around it. :ouch:ouch That was before the days of blow dryers, etc.

In those days, it was also common for nearby churches to visit when a revival was going on. We might have weeks of revival with an evangelist and a nearby pastor had brought his saints to our revival, like what he heard and booked the evangelist to come to his church. We would then visit his church and hear the same evangelist. I agree with whoever said that networking and fellowship was part of the key. Seems like there isn't much of that anymore. Too much diversity in what neighboring pastors want their saints to hear. :ohplease Evangelist would also be at Fellowship Meetings and Youth Rallys. Given a few minutes to speak - then the Holy Ghost could deal with whatever pastors were present, if that evangelist was someone who could be a help to their church.

To answer the question: at our church now, it is never the same schedule. I guess it depends on the evangelist's schedule or even what is going on at the church. This past summer we had "revival" when it was only Sundays and Wednesdays. We've had it Wednesday - Friday and then Sunday. We've had it Sunday - Wednesday. To say the least, our services don't follow any traditional old time Pentecost schedules. :toofunny

AIRFARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do remember the days of seemingly endless revival and long for it again, but I remember the evangalist and wife with two kids living in a 2 room camping trailer plugged into the church out back...
