How long does your church worship thru song at the beginning of your service on Sunday?

Most of the time, we shoot for 30 minutes. of quality worship.

Here lately (the past three sundays) the Holy Spirit has taken over and we've worshipped for 45 minutes to and 1 hour.

Our people love extended worship times- they truly long for it.; ▶ Reply to This

Sunday nights we have set aside for prayer and worship and we usually worship anywhere from an hour and ahalf to 2 hours, or for as long as the Lord impresses upon our hearts to.; ▶ Reply to This

On a typical Sunday we have an opening hymn with the organ and then the worship team plays 2 opening songs. Then we play between 2-4 songs throughout the service (communion, offertory, postlude, ect.) The amount varies from week to week.; ▶ Reply to This

Those are really nice, when there isn't so much of a time constraint. It allows for more improvisation and flowing with the Spirit... more instrumental.

Where we used to live (a different state), our church there had almost no limitations on when things happened or how long stuff lasted. It was terrific to have that level of freedom, but those of us with small children just had to get up and go after a while. The young ones must be fed!; ▶ Reply to This
