My church has 8:00 and 10:30 services. I only go to the early service if I'm involved in the music or otherwise "have to".
We go to 1 service at 9:00 in the summer and attendance declines. A few of our local churches are going to 1 service (9:00 usually) due to declining attendance. Our pastor does not want to do that year-round. His reasoning (I agree) is that people prefer either early or late, and in-between pleases no one and we'll lose attendance.
