Programming and Support -- when congregation has evenings/weekends free

First, is the situation in our community

a)  many, many people work straight days, children /teens go to school straight days. We, at least the folks we appeal to, tend to have both parents working outside of the home.

b) programming or pastoral care for working parents or church meetings are primarily on evenings, and weekends.

c) programming for seniors is primarily in the daytime, as are emergent issues, ie hospitals/ funerals, and the  city / council type connections.
