Both of our services, 9am & 11am are about the same length, 1 1/2 hrs. First service is a little more time restrained due to having to get people out for the arriving 2nd service folks. We normally use all the time plus a little bit extra depending on how the service ends. We don't have altar service every Sunday, but when we do, we don't worry about the time.
I don't know why we didn't go to two services earlier. Our attendance has tripled over the past 3 yrs. God is good!!

My church, Christ Church Nashville has two Sunday morning services. The first one is
8:30 am - 10 am 9 (1 1/2 hours) and the second one is 11:00 am - Approx. 12:30 pm ( 1 1/2 hours). A new Sunday night service is at 6:30 pm but I don't know how long it lasts. I would guess 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
For those adults wanting to attend Sunday School classes they have a choice from around a dozen classes at 10 am on Sunday's and can go after 1st service or before the second one. Those are usually about 45 minutes long.
My wifes church has one service 10 am -11:30- Noon (1 1/2 - 2 hours)

Titus2woman on AFF
"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"
Sunday morning service goes from 10:30 to a little after noon.
For the latter half of the service kids up to 5th or 6th grade go to Children's Church upstairs.
Wednesday evening service goes from 7 till a little after 8
On Wednesday we have about 80 children in the auditorium for Super Kids' Church. The number of children has grown so much lately that the pastor is in charge of that service and they have to use the auditorium to have enough room. Prior to the service they are served pizza and drinks upstairs. We have 35-50 teenagers in the basement for Youth Service. Then, those adults who are not involved in those other activities are in the Adult Bible Class which is held upstairs in a Sunday School room. There are only 6-15 adults who are able to attend the adult class. I have been teaching that group since the first of May when the children moved into the auditorium and the pastor took over that meeting.

I accidently went to church twice today... In the Philippines, they seem to have service smack dab in the middle of the shopping malls... ran into two different services in two different malls! OF course I was only there long enough to work my way through the crowd because I was looking for a place to eat.
Did you accidentally get saved, too?
