So this may sound awful but i have been a migraine sufferer for years and it seems that the church on the opposite side of the street from my home seems to think we all should go to church three times a week with them. Not only is the service spoken totally in spanish but they have the audacity to bring chairs and bullhorns with musical equipment onto the side of the building and preach for hours!!!! Singing to the top of theirs lungs off key and awfully on top of it... and i can say that not one of its members live in the immediate area !!!!!!! Barring spraying them all with my water hose i guess i might as well take a course in spanish along with my migraine meds and join the congregation. It is now nearly 10pm and i have to be up by 4:30 am and go to work all the while the are still yelling and i guess what they call singing...

Edibles,

I'm Christian and I'm sorry that you're having to deal with that. I'm a regular church attendee and I know there are some charismatic churches (English speaking, Ebonics speaking, Spanish speaking) that have outdoor revivals during the summer and the services last for hours going late into the night. I've attended some which is how I know; even walking by and stopping to listen to a Spanish outdoor revival service already in progress on Third Avenue in the Bronx last summer although I understand only a little Spanish. You could go out and speak to one of the ministry assistants (male or female) and explain about your migraines and how noise escalates it. They may offer to pray for your migraines on the spot (I know of some people who have been healed of various illnesses, migraines, cancers, disabilities, etc.) or they will speak to the pastor after the service. Once he/she is notified, hopefully a respectful decision will be made that is beneficial to you and the ministry. I'm very sorry to hear you're suffering. Hopefully something good comes out of this.
