Becoming Seventh Day Adventist
Okay, not really but I will be attending a Saturday service instead of a Sunday one in a couple of months.
Our church has plans to expand but it looks like the additional space at our location won't be ready for close to a year so we need to add an additional service now.
Currently we have 3 Sunday services, 9 am, 11 am, and 6 pm. In a couple of months our new schedule will be Saturday's 5 pm and 7 pm and Sunday's 9am & 11 am for a net gain of one service.
I hear stories of Saturday services being a great success some places and dismal failures in others. I think since our town has a large University, and thus a lot of young people, it will be a success. Time will tell.
For the first time in my life Sunday's will truly be a day of rest and time with the family!
I am thinking we might also attract some fringe adventists who are Spirit filled in beliefs so don't fit in the traditional Seventh Day Adventist church.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
