When I was younger and my parents still attended church they used to go to two Sunday services. When we moved to a three Sunday service church, they still went to two services every sunday.

In the church I was saved in there was 2 sunday services and a friday night service. Most of the church went to all three. I also went to the Saturday night youth service because I was living with the youth pastors family.

I recently attended a uniting church and I mentioned to a couple of the ladies that I couldn't go to the night service because I had plans to see The Passion with my sister-in-law and it was the only night she could go. Their reply made it quite clear that it was very unusual to go to more than one service on a sunday. The Sunday night service was a whole differernt crowd to the sunday morning service.

I'm just wondering what the norm is.

I try to get to Vespers on Saturday afternoon if possible, especially if I will be having Holy Communion the next day. Sunday morning service always and occasionally vespers in the evening. During Holy week before Easter, we try to get to the evening service every day. Occasionally I will get along to a Vigil service (starts before midnight, finishes well after :))

I don't understand what you mean by normal service,

If you mean the 10am family type service which caters for the whole church then that is the one I go to on a Sunday morning. I sometimes end up doing the toddlers church so can't always sit in on the service.

Before I got married I used to go to the evening service as well, which seems to cater more for the youth, although the older people (30+ I suppose you could say) are encouraged to go as well, especially to act as mentors for the teenagers and early 20s.

I would like to go to the youth service again, but at the end of the day, I just can't get out the door anymore.

I sometimes try and get to the ladies meetings through the week, but can't always get there either.

Also, to those who are saying they are going to too many church services, I don't think there is a problem with that. If you are having a hard time fitting church in around your family/work/study committments, then perhaps it might be time to pray about cutting something out, even temporarily. God looks at the heart not at how many times a week you go to church. If you are enjoying going to multiple services and it's working out for you, then go for it.

I used to go to all the services plus Bible study one night, then prayer meeting another night. But since having a baby I have had to give it up temporarily, I know when he is older I will be able to get out more, but for now I have to be content with one service a week, and private Bible study at home.
