Today, church started at a new time for us -1pm. In the LDS church, the different wards (or congregations) rotate the hours they attend church. Church buildings can hold anywhere from 1 - 5 wards; 3 being the average. I have no idea why we rotate; I guess so everyone can share the pros & cons to the different meeting hours.
Last year (2012) we started at 9am and finished at noon. This year we meet at 1pm and finish at 4pm. I have gone as early as 8am and as late as 2pm. I really do not have a preference. An earlier time means you have the rest of the day to spend at home, a later time means you can sleep in and still have enough time to get ready!
The one thing I can say is that I love a new year because I am ready for a change. It is one of the few areas in my life where I like change....maybe because it is a familiar change? I don't know. I do know that my children are ecstatic to be going at a later time this year. We have moved around so much that we haven't actually had an afternoon church time in 2 or 3 years.
A new year, a new month and a new church time...but an old plan with a strong determination. Some things are worth keeping the same.
