Who attends a regular church service?

Postby Mithrandir » Tue Jul 22, 2003 1:58 pm

NOTE: I'm not really expecting anyone to comment, but I think the poll would provide interesting demographic info.

I hope this isn't gonna get plastered by the moderators (I can't think of any reason it would), but I just saw:
Most users ever online was 35, 07-20-2003 at 06:26 AM.
That means the most uses we ever had was on last Sunday morning. Is this MY time zone, or everyone's? If it's mine, then that means it was 7:26 Mountain, 8:26 Central and 9:26 Eastern. :) There are a few reasons this could be the case:
1. Very few people here are in America.
2. No one likes church here.
3. No one here goes to church before 10:00 AM, and loves to hang out here before hand.
4. Everyone here goes to church on Saturday.
5. It was 6:45 in, like, London and everyone here was just up late Sat night.
6. I am a stupid Redneck.

Now before everyone get's mad at me, let me state for the record that I have mulled this over for at least an entire minute. In the interest of fairness, I have decided to post a poll. So here it is. This is the best list I can come up with (given ADHD).

I don't usually attend Wednesday night services, but I'm at church for both services on Sundays.

I go to a Christian, non-denominational church on Sunday mornings, almost every week. I go back to the church I grew up in, an Episcopal church, on Christmas and Easter, with my family. And I try to attend the young adult service at my regular church some Sunday nights.

During the school year they have BSF, an adult Bible study, in Bloomington as well as in cities across the nation. Our men's BSF meets Monday nights. I attended that last year for the study of John and really enjoyed it. Next year's study is "Israel and the Minor Prophets"... I'm a little unsure about that one, but I enjoyed last year a lot and learned and was inspired A LOT so I'm planning on attending again this year. (If anyone wants info on BSF let me know!)

I have went to church only 2 times in my life. I am true christian believer, and read the Bible constantly. I was never bapised (sorry for the typo) though. I really want to get bapised before I am 20. My mother is christian and went to church alot. My dad is christian, but act like one. Umm, thats about it.

Wow. There's quite a bit of diversity here. I think it's great to see so many different ideas about true Christianity coexisting.

instead of my mother making the kids (including me to go to church), it's me who makes them go to church. weird huh? or isn't it...

anyway, i can only attend on Sunday. well, they have the 'Highschool People Sermon Area' where we have our sermons seperated with juniors and seniors, and also do Bible Study where we discuss stuff. yeah, i'd say i'm a regular guy who goes to church.

but there are some days where it's just impossible to go to church. the days when school come first. my idea was to bring in the projects to church and do them there while listening to the sermon, but it's a bad idea, considering all the electronic components and the necessity of EVE, my computer. so i can't :(

and for me to be able to go to churches later in life without being too hungry physically, i need school. until then, work has higher priority than church. just you wait...

I almost always go Sunday morning to the main service. I almost never go on Wednesday. I haven't really been to Sunday night service in a while although I probably should start going.

Thanks to internal medicine rounding responsibilities I've been stuck in the hospital on Sunday mornings this month, but usually I'm at Sunday services, too.

I'm the exact opposite. I love my church at home and I have yet to find a church here at school that I really like. :(

Oh and exactly what is the difference between "usually" and "almost always" ? To me they have the same degree of difference.

I'd say "usually" is about 70-89% of the time, whereas "almost always" is 90-100%. But that's just me.

You forgot 2 other factors, OldPhil:
1. That churches start at different times. I usually leave for the second service, which begins at 9:30, but the most popular service at my church begins at 11:30. Others could be similiar
2. Our online roster isn't always active...sometimes it takes up to 20 minutes to realize you're offline. So that could have flawed your logic, but not by much.
Oh, and I go every sunday. We have no evening service, and wednesdays I either have work or homework, so it's harder for my family to attend.

I go every Sunday and Sunday night. Wednesdays, and when we have get togethers or church events. I like my church.

I go Sunday morning and night and on Wednesdays if I'm off. A lot of other people request off on Wednesday so they can go to church, so I'm the odd one out and I work. ^_^


The choice has been made. There's no looking back. I won't let up, back up, give up, or shut up. My focus clear. My path is straight. My God, reliable. I'm a disciple of Christ.

Gods plan is like the sun. its too big and bright to look at directly, and sometimes the rain clouds cover it, but sometimes the plan dapples through the clouds and we can see beautiful glimpses of what he has in store for us.

I go pretty much every Sunday, up until Easter though the past two Sundays I haven't due to work reasons. When I am off though I find all the means possible to step into the house of the Lord. If I start working Sunday mornings I might be considering the night service.

Well, my dad is the pastor, so it really doesn't matter whether I want to go or not. :sweat:

But don't get me worng, the church is like a second home to me, and even if I had a given choice, I would go any time the doors are opened anyway.

Sunday Morning: Main Service

Sunday Evening: Prayer or Home Group (depending on the date)

Tuesday Evening: Youth Group

Thursday Evening: Mid-Week Service
