How 'bout another "just for fun" thread? I'd kinda like to know what my "online family" does on Sundays? If you are a believer and you go to church or place of worship-- What's it like? What is your service like? What else do you do on Sunday?
And if you are one of our resident atheists/agnostics or otherwise and don't attend, what do you do while you're waiting for the rest of us to get back from church to argue with?? No, seriously, what does Sunday look like for you?
Even though I'm far from a morning person, I go to the first service at church. I attend a charismatic, non-denominational church of about 600 or 700 people. We worship for a long time-usually about 45 minutes or an hour! Contemporary music with a band (keyboard, guitars, bass guitar, drums, and my husband on the viola) Then we have about a 20-25 sermon. Sometimes before that we have a "time of ministry" in which people can go down front and pray with the elders and other leaders one on one if they want someone to pray with them about something. That's church for me pretty much unless God seems to direct the pastor to go another direction.
Then my husband stays and plays his viola during music in the next service. After which we meet at a restaurant and have lunch with friends.
And after lunch, I take a nap! That's a given!
So what do YOU do on Sundays? Believer or atheist ... I'd like to know!
Oh kaykay, I think I'd like your church better than I did mine! Back when I went it lasted nearly 3 hours! I thought I was going to die every Sunday before I got out. I was traditional Free-Will Baptist.
My Sunday consists of getting up around 10 and doing whatever the day requires! Most of my family goes to various services so sometimes I eat with them afterwards. Bedtime is around 8 as I have to get up at 2:30 Monday morning for work!
Typical Sunday, I start every morning (not just Sunday) by reading the Bible, and watch TBN for a little bit while I'm drinking coffee and eating breakfast, then go to Church from 9:00 until 11:00. I go to Phoenix First Assembly of God, which is one of the mega churches here in Phoenix, and I enjoy Pastor Tommy Barnett's preaching of the Gospel because he puts a lot of humor in his messages.
And if you are one of our resident atheists/agnostics or otherwise and don't attend, what do you do while you're waiting for the rest of us to get back from church to argue with??
I can only speak for myself but I sit here like a sack of potatoes waiting for the religious people to get home and on their computers so we can get a good argument going.
I get up about 5:45, my husband gets up when I tell him we're going to be late Our Sunday School starts at 8:30, we have wonderful teacher. The service starts at 9:30, very traditional, our paster is great, very down to earth guy, funny and most important a man of God who preaches from the Bible and Jesus is the center of what our church stands for. We're usually back home by 11:00, eat lunch, go to Kroger, maybe do some stuff around the house, and of course I'm on city-data sometime during the day
Well with two little ones I'm usually up by 730 at the latest. I like to try to get some reading in, whether it be my scriptures, a church magazine or our lesson that Sunday. Our church schedule changes each year from 9-12 to 1-4 Unfortunately right now we're on the 1-4 which is awful with the kids. We have three meetings. The first is one is one for brother, one for sisters, one for youth, one for children to put it simply. The second is Sunday School and I don't get to be with my husband for this one either because he teaches a youth class. During these two my son is off in nursery so I only have the one to deal with which isn't bad. Last meeting is Sacrament where we usually have two or three talks from members of the congregation or our church leaders and ofcourse partake of the sacrament. Oftentimes my husband goes before church to give the sacrament to those who are homebound and can't get out. After we come home and quick dinner, usually a walk and the ever so fun bed time routine.
My Sundays aren't looking the greatest. We just left the place were going and left very bothered by it all. We are going to try a Methodist Church in town, we were invited and heard the particular church here is really a great outreach to the community. It feels bad when you don't have a place to call your home church. I hope we can change this soon and find a place to belong.
Get up at 7:00am, go to church and play the 8:30 worship service, come home and get wife and go back for 11:30 service, go to mother-in-laws for pizza, nap for awhile, go home, call my mom in California, check e-mail, CD etc., watch news and then go to bed. Somewhere in there I have to have my coffee.
