Or, if you're answering this question after your church time on Sunday, Did you go to church on Sunday?
If you don't go to church, for whatever reason, or you worship on a different day or a different way, that's fine, but I'm really asking this of those who GO to CHURCH on SUNDAY.

Auntb93: There can be reasons why someone wouldn't go to Church on Sunday, but who normally goes.
Examples: sickness, traveling, planned on it, but overslept, working, etc.
My intent is not to bully. I just get tired of asking a question that to me seems like anyone with common sense could see I'm asking it to "believers", and get all these atheists telling me that my beliefs are a joke. Or once I asked a question similar to this and got reamed out by a Muslim who said something about how it's a Mosque not a Church, and how (my interpretation) that because he prays 5X/day everyday, he is somehow better than me.
I just want to know who here plans on going (or if they answer after church, but before I pick a best answer on Monday) if they went, to Church.

I'm so glad you went to church (if you did). I hope fireball is feeling better.
Ok, so I know this is off topic, but I just got 10 points from a question on weather, where I was the only answer. The asker gave me 5 stars, and told me how bad my answer was because I couldn't possibly understand his POV because I am "anti-atheist". I just got a kick out of it. lol :)

Dear Tanya,
I agree that many seem to lack the simple understanding that a question requires in order to make an honest answer.
As for me, I attend services weekly and wouldn't miss them unless there is a very good reason. My Dad and Mom taught me that attending church was a vital part of life. Dad once said that it was very hard for him to go to church with us every week because he was so tired from working all week but went with us because he knew that it was the right thing to do. Likewise, my wife and I have taken our children every week because it is the right thing to do and because I miss the spiritual uplift that our meetings give me. I need spiritual nourishment every bit as much as physical nourishment and I get that from prayer, study and attendance at church meetings. The Holy Ghost can recharge my spiritual batteries when I attend Sacrament Meeting, Sunday School and Priesthood Meeting. He answers my prayers and enlightens my mind when I study the scriptures. Church attendance helps keep everyday life in balance. The temporal concerns of everyday life are balanced against the spiritual elements so that I know what life is all about or what is truly important about life as we currently know it to be.
I hope all can do likewise.

No, I'm not.
But I'm puzzled by your second paragraph; you are asking those who go to church on Sunday whether or not they are going to church on Sunday? What, then, is your point? You want to see their excuses for non-compliance in a given week? Doesn't that put rather a bullying slant on the whole idea of church-going, making it more an obligation and less a voluntary and joyful worship?

Yes, although it will be to a different "congregation" in the same Church. My sister in law is speaking at the other church. She just got back from an 18 month assignment in Chile if you know what I mean.

Going to Church with a friend of mine, as I have been doing the last few months. I'm thinking of being baptized into her church :-)

I haven't missed a Sunday attendance in over two years and I don't intend to miss one.
