Yes. They reuse the same stories over and over and just try to spice things up by tying it to current events

from the very limited time ive gone to church, they usually pick a handful of verses or stories from the bible (and other related texts), read them, and discuss the meaning of them. Then there are some songs and things like life announcements (weddings, babies, funerals, etc). Then they wrap it up with announcing the next community events and stuff and wrap it up with a song.

So they can stretch the entire bible out for literal years before they loop around to the beginning again.

So its like a rerun, but so far after the original release that you dont remember the whole thing.

When I went to church growing up there was a lot of saying the same sayings over and over again and it wasn't just the one that made sense (The Lord's prayer.)

Nobody actually reads the stupid thing. They get told what it says and what they should think it means.

Church in my area used to have these huge lunch things with insane amounts of food. It was like a buffet... those were good days. I'd go to town on chicken and mashed potatoes.

Yeah but not the primary thing. The primary reason is to hear the sermon

Yea. I get dragged there every once in a while. The priest has never talked about a chapter in the Bible I never heard before
