Cutting Back On 'Church' Services
 

Why have many 'churches' eliminated their Sunday night services? Lack of interest and attendance?

Why do so many churches have two services on Sunday? There is absolutely no biblical basis for it.

I would much rather go to one great Sunday service and spend the rest of the day truly in rest and with family to honor God than go to one service, eat, maybe take a nap, then go back to church that evening.

From a practical standpoint construction, insurance, utilities, and other costs have risen so much churches began to realize that they could not keep on building sanctuary's to hold everybody at one time. It only makes sense to hold multiple service on Sundays for different groups of people.

My church has 3 Sunday services which is one more than traditional old time Pentecost so it is not a matter of the leadership being lazy and not wanting to have more than one church service. It is a desire to minister to as many people as possible on Sunday. My church would have to have a sanctuary 3 times the size of the one we have now to have everybody meet at once and twice on Sunday.

The entire time we attended the UPC our church had the traditional Sunday morning/Sunday night services. Talk about throwing your whole day away!

Many Pentecostal churches are now doing one service on Sunday, or two early services (duplicates).

And I know you don't have church Monday or Tuesday so if you would rather go to church then watch TV we will be in revival for the next few weeks.

My guess is because its an outdated tradition. There's nothing Biblical about running yourself ragged on Sundays just to make two services. In fact, doing that necessarily keeps you from the rest and family time prescribed for the sabbath. I find the move to one worship service to be a very good thing.
