Length of event after church?

[Lamb]

What is the ideal length of time for an event at church (that takes place after the church service)?

Think about what's ideal for you and your family? Do you normally have a busy Sunday or one of leisure?

Depends on the event; every other Sabbath we have a fellowship lunch that's open to everyone, church members and guests. Usually lasts about an hour; afterward on those Saturdays there's choir practice for those at church who are in the choir.

Otherwise (for me anyway) I try to get out, get some walking in around my neighborhood, visit some neighbors and catch up on some reading (I keep a stack of Christian reading near the couch where I rest at night that I read - there are works from RC Sproul, Charles Spurgeon, Ellen White, Jimmy Swaggart, etc. in that book stack.

Depends on how "event" is deffined. Coffee is fine - usually will stay about 15-20 minutes.
Potlucks and meals aren't really my thing.
Besides, it's NFL season...

It really depends what the event is. If it's an informal chat over coffee then anything from 10 minutes to however long before the keyholders start shepherding everyone out. If it's a more organised event then an appropriate length would still depend on the event. The main thing is to know in advance what's expected.
