Our service starts at about 10:30 and is always over before noon.
It just seems longer.
I was watching a service on DVD the other day with a relative and we were fast forwarding through parts of it. I commented to him that didn't he wish we could that in church sometimes!

"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."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"

CC... that is the best one I have heard in a lonnnnnnnnnnng time... thanks for the much need chuckle.
Hey I cannot wait to use that one! Oh yes, any copyright fees,
Praise the Lord, it matters not how long the service as long as one does not want to fast forward it.
Nope, I assume one was a Catholic mass (based on the outfit the preacher was wearing...)
The Philippines is a weird mix of the very innocent/religious and the not so innocent/religious... could explain more but that's for a different thread...

hmmm... i have services Sunday morning at 10 am until around 1pm and then sunday evening from 6pm to around 9pm, wednesday evening from 7pm to around 9pm and the saturday we have a prayer survice at 6pm that lasts until a little past 7pm. PS i cant imagine not having a service on sunday evening. sunday has always been our day to worship the Lord and what better way could you spend your time then with your Lord and Saviour?????
Sunday morning 10-11:30 and Wednesday night 6:30-8:00... Do any of your churches have services for only an hour? I noticed the first poster did, I was sort of surprised. We don'r rush things in my assembly, but with singing, praying and preaching (and we don't take up an offering or point out first-time guests or anything like that), we rarely go past 2 hrs.

I think, as in many things, service length equals quality when it comes to spirituality, meaning the longer the service the more the spirit moved and the more spiritual the spirited saints are.
