[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are Christians and believers...but seriously what we wouldn't GIVE for a weekday (or weekend!) evening service. Sunday morning are brutal. I just want to rest...truly.

I know that we are supposed to rest and give time once a week to God, but if you're a working parent family then you only have two precious mornings without the rush. If you go to church, then you have ONE morning a week without the rush.

(We aren't in DC so I don't need suggestions.)

My family in California goes to church on Thursday nights and I am SO JEALOUS.

I hear you! Sometimes Sundays feel like another workday. A few things that helped me.
-Pick a church a church closer to home, and one that does not have a long service. i am ok with hour long services, but I am happy to sing a few old school hymns and be happy with that. Once contemporary music comes into play, and guitars, and lots of melodies, etc, time is added to the songs. Nothing wrong with contemporary music, just saying it adds time. Find a church that is super structured. For example, they pray a certain number of prayers every week, of the same time (prayers of thanksgiving, adoration, confession, and usually the people saying the prayers have written them out ahead of time)-churches with extemporaneous everything, everything takes more time, and all this extra "time" isn't by default more edifying.

I know what I wrote might sound unsensitive, even "cold", but God knows our hearts and if your goal is to worship and learn about him truly and be with his people on the Lord's day on Sunday's, you can choose to go to a place that is very thoughtful with time, to serve those like us with busy weeks.
