How does a Typical Service go at your Church?

[JGibson]

At my UCC church in Granite City, IL, the rough order is as follows:
- Bells
- Devotional reading
- Greeting (during the Spring, Summer, and early half of Fall) and hymn
- Announcements
- Prelude
- Call to Worship
- Hymn
- Responsive Affirmation of Faith
- Contemplation of the week
- Hymn
- Epistle reading
- song [is sung either by the chancel choir,  bell choir, praise band Open Arms, or some other special musician(s)].
- Gospel reading
- Sermon (called reflection)
- Hymn
- Our Father prayer (the Our Father is sung only on Sundays or services with communion)
- Offertory [organ playing or song is sung either by the chancel choir,  bell choir, praise band Open Arms, or some other special musician(s)].
- Post-offertory response
- Unison prayer of dedication
- On the first Sunday of the month, Easter, and Pentecost: Communion
- Hymn (on the first Sunday of the month, the noisy offering takes place here)
- Benediction

Open Arms is the church's praise band; however, they play about once a month, and for only 2 or so songs. The rest is of the singing is done via hymnals or the traditional choirs, except during the Summer months. During the Summer months, there will be special musicians singing during a couple of the songs, alongside the hymnals.

All in all, the service lasts about an hour (60 minutes) to 75 minutes, depending on other factors (such as communion, special speakers, baptism).

My previous church (and rarely still go to), which was an SBC church:
- Opening announcements.
- Praise Team/Congregation sing
- prayer
- various singers sing.
- Praise Team/Congregation sing
- Offertory prayer
- Offering
- various singers sing
- Responsive reading
- Sermon
- Invitation
- Closing announcements
- Closing song
The evening service modifies this somewhat.

The services on Sunday mornings, when I used to go there, were from about 75-90 minutes. Evenings just over an hour.

Parts where congregation stands if able to do so.
