What time do you prefer to attend services in the morning?

[47of74]

The church I go to just last week decided to move services to 10am after having them at 9am for quite a long time.

So I was wondering what time people would prefer to go to services?

I kind of like later on Sunday mornings. Having to get up before the sun comes up five days a week it's nice to sleep in a little bit on Sundays. Plus it seems like there's more time to get properly set up on Sunday mornings if the services are at or after 10am.

1. Early service for me.

Much more relaxed and traditonal.

2. 10 am is my preference

However, I may well attend at some other time, due to work schedule or other commitments.

3. 10:30

My church has 8:00 and 10:30 services. I only go to the early service if I'm involved in the music or otherwise "have to".
We go to 1 service at 9:00 in the summer and attendance declines. A few of our local churches are going to 1 service (9:00 usually) due to declining attendance. Our pastor does not want to do that year-round. His reasoning (I agree) is that people prefer either early or late, and in-between pleases no one and we'll lose attendance.

4. I'm a EMHC...

...the Saturday Evening is my usually-scheduled Mass.

6. So was I.

My previous Catholic parish I was always scheduled either for Sunday evening or Saturday evening. Or I was scheduled as adult server, sacristan, or usher.

5. Voted Sunday evening

But if I go in the morning, 10-11 is usually it. I go to work at noon so it's actually earlier than I normally get up, but it's still not that early, and I don't have to do much before, just have a snack, jump in the shower and throw up on some clothes.

7. Small church, one service at 9:00

Small, liberal Mennonite church in a college town, about 30-35 attendance. We have Sunday school after church, both children and adults. Part of figuring best time for a service depends on Sunday school, and whether it's before or after the service. One advantage to after is it makes for an easy-to-plan adult class - discussing the morning's sermon.

8. I prefer Saturday evening - but if that's not feasible, late Sunday morning

Sometimes I'll go to Sunday evening Mass (they offer that at a parish nearby), but as long as I'm able to go on Saturday evening, that's my choice.
