Oh' that was a log time ago. Oh' well! Anyway, Sunday night services were the bomb! That's when the people got loose in Jesus so to speak. I actually enjoyed Sunday nights better than Sunday morning worship. WE are people of tradition. If my info is correct the Sunday morning, Sunday night thing began in the old days when people walked to church and rode horse and buggy long distances to church. Some of the circuit churches only met monthly, so the people would bring lunch in order to have a break at midday for lunch and fellowship and then reconvene for evening services. This tradition was carried on until present day. (Except for the lunch and fellowship.) We just do restaurants. Now, we drive long distances in a short period of time and we meet weekly and sometimes 2 or three times a week. Life styles have changed. We don't work the farm anymore, we buy it from the store. We pack a lot of activity in one day. 24/7 I believe quality time with family can do as good as Sunday night service. We meet By-weekly on Sunday nights. Time to break tradition. Do what works for your people in your area. Just Honor God when we come together! Good question Jack,
