We did not attend for the bulk of two years or more. But it felt like were abandoning the Lord's Day right after lunch, so we have made the effort to go more consistently the last couple of years. I enjoyed reading your experience, Dawn. We are RPCNA, which is like OPC but with Exclusive Psalmody and no instruments. Although our family does not hold that view, but we enjoy singing Psalms now.

I grew up attending both as my dad was a southern baptist pastor and we literally napped on the pews Sunday afternoon waiting for the evening service because we were commuting. These days our small group meets together and eats, fellowships and prays on Sunday nights. It is by far my favorite way to spend a Sunday evening!

It's hard, I get it. But it has been so worthwhile to us. Last year, our Pastor preached some very heavy, dark sermons on Jesus' arrest, trial, and death ... having the balance of our associate preaching on Hebrews really helped to relieve that sense of darkness. dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987916970944867015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009930.post-78416006728001439862014-09-01T11:53:38.543-04:002014-09-01T11:53:38.543-04:00Sunday evening service is my favorite.

We work in so many ministries on Sunday mornings, Sunday evenings are when I really feel "fed".<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!<br /><br />(P.S. we're a Doctrines of Grace believing Baptist family)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139990886922103618noreply@blogger.com
