When is church?

Lately we've been asking when should our Sunday morning service be. Should we keep it at 9:30 or should we move it later to 10:30. After taking a poll of the congregation the results came back almost exactly 50/50. With such a close outcome we decided to just leave things as they are and move on to other things.

Here is my thought about this whole process. I don't think it really matters when the service is. If we are not being the church all week how does it matter when the Sunday morning service is? Sunday is not the only time God speaks. It's not the only time people come to Christ. It's not the only time of worship. It's not the only time of repentance, forgiveness, and most importantly grace. The real question is not when should we have church but rather are we being the church all the time.
