    so as a child I remember Sundays being church days. Morning & evening services. But I’m trying to find my faith yet I’ve discovered most churches don’t hold Sunday evening services anymore. Why is that?

    every day has an evening. when i was growing up, all days were equal,

    i too find pretending to know things that are not known comforting, though i find equally comforting that what is not known is also not subject to human limitations

    i don't mean to rain on anyone's perade, of finding comfort in some shared, mostly harmless ritual.

    I've never known a church to hold Sunday evening mass other than wednesdays and Saturdays. Of course the evening mass always went a lot quicker too with next to nobody in there so I always asked my folks, why can't we do this on Saturday?? Apparently it's not the social interaction they wanted.

    Actually, "Sundays being church days" is custom and not a rule. Christian were admonished at Galatians 4:9-11 not to be "observing special days and months and seasons and years" and so any day can be used to continue gathering together.

    For Israelites, God assigned Saturday as the Sabbath but Christians, contrary to what 7th Day Adventists say, have no "assigned" Sabbath day.

    It seems like part of organized religion is always having at least one day of worship per week. My parents go to church several times a week though as they are readers at mass.

    every day has an evening, and a morning of the next.

    Trying to find your faith? You're looking in the wrong places. Try what I did. Write down the things about God and creation that MAKE SENSE to you. Mull it over (took me years) and forget everything you were taught. Look for a group that shares your beliefs and join it if you wish. If you decided on an organized religion, you fucked up. Mine turned out to be basic Pagan as done maybe 15,000 years ago. "Do as you wish as long as none are harmed". No fancy shit, fees or complex bullshit. Feasts? Oh hell yeah! No harm there.
