Ask Your Preacher
Meeting frequency
Monday, October 28, 2019In my area, there are churches that have a Wednesday night service. Where is this in the Bible? Acts 2:46 seems to suggest the early christians met everyday. Does you congregation meet everyday?
Sincerely,
Dedicated
Dear Dedicated,
Our congregation doesn’t meet every day, but we do have classes throughout the week. The Bible only mandates that the church meet on Sundays to take the Lord’s Supper (Acts 20:7) and make their contribution to the work of the church (1 Cor 16:1-2). Don’t get us wrong; the church is also told to pray together (Acts 12:5), study together (Acts 2:42), and sing together (Col 3:16)… but we can do those things whenever we want. The church is told to make a habit of meeting together (Heb 10:25), but every day isn’t a requirement. Wednesday classes are one way that congregations attempt to keep that routine and habit of meeting. SB
