Longest service Ive been in had to be when we had an all night prayer service on a saturday night that just continued right on into sunday morning service...so most of us were there from like 7:30 pm Saturday til about 3pm Sunday...never again... I did get good nap time in during all night prayer though. Lord forgive me, but I prayed, I finished and I slept.

Well, he did say that the Sabbath was made for man, and not man for Sabbath. So I think you have already been forgiven for taking a nap on the Sabbath.

1. I never understood shut-ins that begin on the night before morning worship service. That just doesn't seem to make sense to me.

2. I couldn't get with a shut-in that begins at 7:30p... unless it's over at 2 or 3 a.m.

Longest service I've been in was when we had a shut-in prayer;
which started at 7 pm and went all the way around til' bout 1 am.

Thank goodness it was the first and last time for that! Talk about being cranky, and not being very attentive during the service!

Shut In prayer??? We had ALL NIGHT Prayer that started on a Friday night at 10:00pm after Friday night Service and ended at 6:00am the next morning.    SMH Yall had it good!!

For me, I don't consider the shut-ins, revivals, etc. to be "services" per se, but special events. I kinda expect a revival to be long, but not regular weekly services.

When I was in youth group, we had the all night shut-ins. I don't know how much we got out of those though.

My aunts church in Detroit, they started at 10:45 and it was well after 3 before we got out of there, and I said I would NOT be back and that was in the late 80's when I was like 9 or 10 and I haven't been back either.  

I have been to a Jahovah Witness funeral and it lasted over 4 hrs. 4 hrs in a funeral for an 11 year old was a lil to much.

Scheduled shut-ins & over night services one would expect to be long.

I attend a "special program" that after 6 hours I left. A friend told me the service went on for a total of 9 hours

Longest service I think on my record right now was a 11:00am worship service that lasted till 3pm. I'm not big about long services but I don't mind when people are being saved, delivered, etc.

Under our former pastor services would last from about 11 till 2 and 2:30 almost every Sunday and we a Baptist church in the south and in a small city?.....hmmmm that didn't go too well.
