I have enjoyed reading the discussion. I have been concerned for awhile about churches reducing the amount of services they have. In my time, I have watched as trends have continually gone downhill. Shorter services, fewer services, services with no meat or substance to them, seems like we are getting a little lazy folks. I am thankful however that, at our local church we are on the upward climb and we have been having great services, enjoying the presence of God and watching God work in many different forms.
