Church Attendance

I was thinking today- When I was a new christian, it was preached that you come to church every time the church doors open. And they were opened a lot - at least 4 times a week. Sunday morning, Sunday night, Wednesday night, and Friday night. That was the minimum- Then you had revivals, and special services. Now it seems that we do not have many revivals, and only one service on some Sundays. I love to go to church, but I do not feel the need to go to church as much or as often. I have a time at my house for private Bible study, and devotion, not that it takes the place of church. I am interested in how much you attend church- so I thought I would do a poll.

Re: Church Attendance

I go everytime we have service. The congregation has this crazy idea that the pastor should be there.

We have one service on Sunday, and Wednesday night Bible study.

Re: Church Attendance

We also have one night for prayer meeting, which is my favorite besides Wednesday night Bible Study.

Re: Church Attendance

Saturday night prayer is a favorite of mine as well!

H.O., try looking into the home meeting thing. Me and a family from the Dale church are getting ready to start having that type of meeting. I'm excited about it.

I would sure enjoy hearing your pastor preach again.

Not possible around here. This area is either cultish, Amish, Catholic, or Lutheran.

I'm not interested in any of them.

But my attendance issue will be changing soon, I hope.

Re: Church Attendance

In an average week, five services!!!! But that's because we're pastoring two churches right now. Sometimes we are in church 6 or 7 times in a week.

And some people on here think I'm "worldly"??? I don't have time to backslide!
