In our society we look for what is different, rather than seeing what we all have in common.
At a catholic mass, the priest comes into God presence to minister or teach. The people confesses to a man when the bible says, we should make our confession known to God. Man can not heal or save us.
songs, message
The church service on the other hand does the same thing, except no confession to father priest. songs are sang, preach word is given.
If when you walk away from your mass and I walk away from my service, and you or I can feel as if we have been in the presense of God and was moved to live for him. Why worry about if it's mass or service that one go too.
There is only GOD who died, rose up, and is every living today tomorrow and for always.
God meets you in mass and in service

Mass is pre-set, what is said was choosen a LONG time ago. The same thing is basically said at all catholic masses.

Church serves the pastor writes what he says, different in each church.

Services are meant to teach masses are about symbolism and ritual.

In the Catholic mass, Jesus is sacrificed on the cross over and over. It's a satanic ritual showing that Satan has defeated Jesus by killing him.

In a Christian service, Jesus's one-time sacrifice to atone for the sins of man is looked back upon with reverence and awe as we worship our creator.

Service is singing and reading the Bible and then listening to the pastor, hoping what he says is right.

Mass is worship and thanksgiving to God and entering into the eternal sacrifice of Christ (not repeating it as Protestants claim, since that cannot be repeated), as indicated in the books of Hebrews and Revelation:

•Heb. 5:1 -Every high priest is taken from among men and made their representative before God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins (intercession, this is the function of the high priest and Christ is the High Priest)
•Heb. 7:24-26 - but he, because he remains forever, has a priesthood that does not pass away.25 Therefore, he is always able to save those who approach God through him, since he lives forever to make intercession for them.26 It was fitting that we should have such a high priest: holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, higher than the heavens - (Christ makes a continuos intercession for us)
•Heb. 7:17 - Christ is a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech.(who offered bread and wine, by the way, just as in mass)
•Rev. 1:12-13 -“ when I turned, I saw seven gold lampstands and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, wearing an ankle-length robe, with a gold sash around his chest”(this is the vestment of the high priest and the setting is the temple); & Rev. 5:6 - I saw: and behold in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures and in the midst of the ancients, a lamb standing, as it were slain ; & Rev. 13:8 - “the lamb which was slain from the beginning of the world”. ( So in heaven Christ the high priest offers himself to the Father eternally, since time does not exist in heaven and for God all time is present. The mass brings to the altar that sacrifice that is eternal in heaven. and we enter into it.)

That was the understandig of the early church:

•Didache (the Teaching of the Twelve Apostles - written between 50-150 AD.)- Chapter 14. - Christian Assembly on the Lord's Day: But every Lord's day gather yourselves together, and break bread, and give thanksgiving after having confessed your transgressions, that your sacrifice may be pure. But let no one who is at odds with his fellow come together with you, until they be reconciled, that your sacrifice may not be profaned. For this is that which was spoken by the Lord: "In every place and time offer to me a pure sacrifice; for I am a great King, says the Lord, and my name is wonderful among the nations."
•Clement (80 AD) - "Since then these things are manifest to us, and we have looked into the depths of the divine knowledge, we ought to do in order all things which the Master commanded us to perform at appointed times. He commanded us to celebrate sacrifices and services, and that it should not be thoughtlessly or disorderly, but at fixed times and hours

Masses are Catholic. Services cover everything else, everywhere else.
