If you no longer go to church, do you have a lie in? Do you take the kids to sports practices? Is it just like a Saturday?

Does anyone keep some part of the day special still, using it as a time to worship? Or even just a time to slow down, be quiet, unwind for an hour.

Some of us go to church. Got BWV 645 today from the organist, fantastic.

This thread is really for people who don't go to church at all. But I have a lie in on Sunday morning... and then to go church in the evening!

Sometimes I go to the library if I can get a lift into the city centre.

I still go to church because I sing in the choir. This morning I didn't have to go as it was children only for the "Toy Service" ( [Projectile] don't ask). I got up later than usual (having two days in the week which aren't ruled by the alarm clock makes such a difference) and went to the gym instead. The rest of the day was much as normal until I had to wander off to Evensong. It's only when the choir has a complete Sunday off that I can do something else like hitting a museum.

I usually go for a walk or a cycle if the weather is amenable. If the weather is bad I potter in the shed. Sometimes I just potter if the weather is good; I find pottering to be very satisfying.

Actually the thread is for people with no faith such as myself. The thread info doesn't say anything about church going. BTW my town officially opened its new main library yesterday after several years of building, lots of chairs.

Every now and again I do go back to Church to try and reconnect with something.

I'm a shift worker so rarely do I have Sunday mornings free. I do try to continue to have some time to spend in awareness each day though that may be as little as a few seconds.

It took me ages to get used to having my Sundays free. It has been 6 years, but I still sometimes catch myself thinking Sunday should be a quiet day of rest! [Help]

So Sunday mornings are just like any other day, now.

I take a bath. Mom is at church, I have the house to myself-- I take a bath.

I still find it difficult having Sunday mornings free. The other members of the family are often at church, so I am often at home alone.

I tend to treat it like any other day, but having a short time alone I do try to use it to chill out.

I'm not deliberately not going to church yet, but what I'm mostly doing on Sunday mornings these days is sleeping late. Very late. Like noon late.

I listen to NPR. Sunday lineup on local station (KQED) includes "Prairie Home Companion" (rerun of previous day's live show). It's a much-beloved, folksy variety show, with all sorts of music, edgy skits, hymns, even a sermon of a sort: the Lake Woebegone episode.
