Question:
Is there any order of service for the different meetings of the assembly? Should not the Remembrance meeting be before the Sunday school, or is it not found anywhere in Scripture?
Answer:
Acts 20:7-12 tells about the disciples coming together on the first day of the week to break bread. The order of events given in this passage is (1) Paul preached, (2) there was the breaking of bread, and (3) Paul talked till break of day. So in this case, the breaking of bread both preceded and followed ministry. This is one of many areas where liberty is left to each individual assembly to arrange things as are most suitable for the assembly.
For example, many years ago Sunday school preceded the Remembrance meeting in the Baltimore Assembly. Then, for very practical reasons agreed upon by all in the assembly, the order was switched, and has remained so up to the present.
