Everyone in the Massachusetts Bay Colony was required to attend Sunday services.
Sunday Services: • Men and women sat on opposite sides of the church. • Boys sat together and were expected to be completely silent. • A good prayer lasted an hour or more. • The minister preached from two to four hours and kept time with an hourglass sitting on the pulpit.
Sunday Services • Churches were unheated; sometimes the communion bread froze and water in the christening bowl became ice. • To keep people awake, the “tithing man” carried a long pole with a feather tied on one end and tickled the listeners. • There were two services on Sunday: one in the morning and one in the afternoon, each of equal length, each to be attended.
