As I recall you didn't even tell me you had visited my church until AFTER the fact!!!!

Must be Alzheimers, brother.

We were going to meet before service, but I got lost on Old Hickory and ended up not getting there until wel into the service.

Just yanking your chain previously!

We only have morning services (9 & 11) and no Sunday evening service. On some Sunday evenings, we have Relevant Classes that last for four weeks at a time, or sometimes a special "Encounter" Service with a prophet or some other special speaker. Tonight, they just finished their fourth week of elective classes, which have been really popular.

Our Wed. evening services have become more like our Sunday night services used to be; very intense spiritually. Longer praise & worship, waiting on God, gifts in action, etc.

This sounds like what we have in mind as a goal.
I would be interested in your Sunday format and Wednesday format, if you would care to share.

(Notice I stayed away from the word "program". We all know that OP's do not follow a program, just three choruses, special singing, choir, offering, and preaching. It cannot be a program cause it ain't written down!)

Our church has one Sunday service; 10:30 Am , this is a morning worship and at the same time downstairs SS/Childrens' church type programs.
This has been the only Sun service since this church began in Apr '99. (begun as a UPC Home Missions work; there are other churches in area but under churched for a metro area )

They also do a Sat service @ 7:30pm. This is the worship service for the saints.
Sun morn is evangelistic.
Wed night there are cell groups meeting in homes.

At various times Sun night has had discipleship classes, choir practice or whatever was needed.

It works well.

LOL!!! I remembered it was YOUR fault, just not why. Hopefully you can come back again sometime and we can grab a cup of coffee before or after service.
