SON RISE SERVICE
Saturday night and I am thinking about our "Son-Rise" Service in the morning and our 10:45 service. We have our "Son-Rise" Service at 7:00 A.M. and then afterward the men cook and serve pancakes, sausage and bacon for a time of fellowship.
Our Sunday School time begins at 9:45. In the past, by the time the kitchen crew has finished cleaning up, it is almost 9:45. Most of those who come to the service come in casual clothes so they go home and change. It has made for a low Sunday School attendance in the past. Last year we dismissed Sunday School and started our worship service at 10:45. It seems our people who attend Sunday School appreciated that change.
I was wondering if anyone else who has a sunrise service does the same thing or am I belng too accommodating. I am interested in hearing comments.
Speaking of comments. If you happen to read this blog, would you take time to at least say you stopped by. It will help me know how much time to "spend" blogging.

    I just wanted to stop by and let you know that I stopped by.

    For some you might be being too accomodating but I don't feel so. The ones who may feel this way shuld realize one very simple thing: it doesn't matter whatthey think about what one Church does concerning her assembling. After all, if we talk about it in the Church and the Church makes a decision then that is all that matters.

    Every year, on the fourth Sunday in June is the White Rock Cemetery Homecoming. The Church voted to set aside our Sunday School time and have only preaching beginning at 10:00. At first I balked at the idera but then I realized something. We are commanded to "forsake not the assembling of ourselves together" and since the Church sets the assembling times we aren't forsaking anything.

    Just my two cents for what it's worth...which is actually only two cents.

    sorry about my terrible spelling...I'm quite embarrassed by how bad it is in this post. I'll do better next time.
