Let's start with a definition of "service" from Dictionary.com on the web:

Do you see anything in the definition of "service" that should have anything to do with meeting together with our brothers and sisters in Jesus? Do we "service" Jesus like we take our car in for an oil change? Where did this idea of a "sunday service" or “worship service” come from? Now this makes perfect sense if the idea is for the people to show up to some building, and they get "serviced" by some guy standing up above them, pontificates unaccountably for an hour or so, fleeces them for their money, then sends them on their merry way for another week, until they need to be "serviced" again. See, instead of having an ongoing 24/7 relationship with Jesus, churchianity has the wonderful idea of a "services" for the herd to drive in, be "serviced" like a car at jiffy lube, then be sent on their way a little lighter in the wallet till next week without obtaining anything spiritually meaningful. Would anyone call a meeting with their human father a “service”? What a complete adulteration. Give that one some thought.
