But now church services have been drastically reduced. One hour prayer and bible study on Wednesdays, and 9:00 Prayer, 9:45 Christian Education, and 11:30 to 2:00 Church service, with young people every other Sundat from 4 to 5 PM....So I kinda want a feel of what everyone is doing. I like the house Bible Study as long s it does not interfere with the "Assembly of yourselves together" in Hebrews.

Ummmm... for the first 200 to 300 years the vast majority of Christians met in homes to study the Word and learn about Jesus. Church buildings came in as Christianity was Romanized and the Emperor took temples and made churches out of them to gain Christian approval and solidify his power. So technically, when the writer of Hebrews talks about our "assembling together"... he's most likely talking about fellowshipping, breaking bread, learning the Word, and worshiping Jesus in a smaller home based group.
