Tell me your thoughts. How does your worship service start? Or do you miss it for being late?

No, I'm on time and I have remembered the time change.
Ours starts with everybody standing. Contemporary Christian songs, the band is playing, the choir and lead singers are singing, and everybody is in their own world with Jesus as The Holy Spirit moves on His People. Some might be crying, smiling, raising their hands while singing or praying, and some may be dancing in The Spirit. But everybody is experiencing the manifestation of his presence. Some are usually getting healed. And there is so much joy in the house, and why shouldn't there be. The Love of God is flowing like a river. Now, we are ready to listen to and to receive The Awesome Word of God and lives are changed. PEACE!!!

~ I love to go 15 to 30 minutes early so that I can 'fellowship' with other brothers and sisters in the Lord.
~ I can sit and meditate a few minutes and read the Pastor's perspective article... I can see the church functions that are comming up as will be announced in our bulletin.
~ I like to sit 1st or 2nd row so I don't have any/many distractions.
~ Then, I TRULY enjoy the WORSHIP MUSIC and the spiritual uplift of the music and familiar lyrics... we give our joyful [noise in my case] unto the Lord, which He accepts as a sweet fragrence... We are ALL blessed!
~ Then I can enjoy the Pastor's message and altar call and worship music again.

Thanks for the reminder. I hate being late especially to church and if I'm late, there is no place to park. The first service starts at 9:00 am Pacific time & 10:30 the 2nd service which is the one I go to.

I still have not found a church. I worship on the Sabbath. Sometimes my days and nights get away from me and I'm 'late for church' but I always receive a gentle reminder.

Who told you? I am about 5 minutes late each week. I have a migraine condition and loud music triggers it, so I try to avoid the first hymn. After I have been there for awhile I can handle the rest or use ear plugs if I am having a really bad day. I can't sing anyway and don't really miss anything important.

In Australia Christians are always late. It is the laid back culture I guess. If half of your congregation arent there then you have no choice but to stall. I am always on worship so I see people coming in up to 15 minutes late. Oh well doesnt matter. We are not perfect!! As long as they learn and grow

Its funny but the blacks have a tendency of showing up from 15 to 45 min into the worship part of the service. Their lack of zeal is astounding.

Never late.Never .
Its rude .
I never want God to be late on me.
So I make it a point to be early for Him.
Love Nana<><
We start with worship and praise.The best way to start the day.

Our church is so cute. Every single year, we keep the time the same until AFTER all the services are over. *smile*.....so we don't lose the hour until later!
