Baw when I was a youngin we were at Sunday School at 9 AM on Sunday morning, followed by the Worship service at 11. If you were lucky you got home in time to catch the second half of the football game. Then back at church at 6 for the Sunday night service. And prayer meeting on Wednesday night. Plus throw in choir practice, youth group, etc, somewhere in there.

Damn that's a ton. But that's good that we still have people seeing the light, accepting Jesus and coming into the One True Church .

We did 5 readings. (4 Old Testament and the Epistle).

And then probably went to fellowship for an hour or two with the congregation for coffee, donuts, and conversation in a beautiful church. I was raised Episcopalian, it's usually like going to a nice hotel after a service filled not with fire and brimstone, but goodwill and positivitiy.

I respect men that attend mass. I do not respect men that need validation and praise for attending mass.

If you like the Easter Vigil, don't miss the long-form Pentecost Vigil if you can find it.

If you've been keeping up with the evolution (devolution) of Episcopalians, this is actually very on brand.

God, bless that priest.

I wouldn’t have guessed that sitting through a long mass would be difficult for you.

I was with a few people and we were going somewhere after mass, but when the priest said this at the beginning of mass we all looked at each other like "you got to be fricking kidding me". We agreed we would split when that part started (which was about 45 mins into mass)
I’ll bet no one noticed you subtly leaving early RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HOLIEST SERVICE OF CATHOLICISM.

It’s amazing how some people (you included) have a knack for saying or doing exactly the wrong thing at exactly the worst possible time.

Oh and Happy Easter (if you haven’t already left this thread early).

The longest one I've ever attended was 3.5 hrs.

That was us last night. Father had the spirit and warned us beforehand he was going to do all 9 of the readings.
