P.S. Sunday service is 10:00 a.m. and we go about 1 1/2 hours. Here is a correction of weekday services (small and quiet)--Tuesday through Friday at 8:00 a.m.

Yes going to church in Jamaica is a great experience. I have attended mass at Mary Gate of Heaven (many years ago) as well as the church about 50 yards up the hill to Red Ground (by where the Wharf Club used to be) on the right side. I have been to mass at the Catholic Church in Ocho Rios and have been in the Catholic Church in Seaford Town as well. I have also attended services at some remote churches in the mountains of Portland. I'm not sure how it is now but back in the 70's and 80's Sunday was still a day of worship in JA and everything was shut down as far as businesses. Not sure if that has changed or not but Sunday in Negril was a quiet day and going to church was a fun and spiritual experience. Easter was especially rewarding and I always felt welcome at any church I went to on the island.

Tattoo,
We just came back from Negril.. We went to "Family Church on the Rock" that meets at the Tree House.. We really enjoyed worshiping with these brothers and sisters. The message was good, and we really felt at home.. It is a contemporary service..

We have gone to services at "New Testament Church" in Negril and in Sheffield. We prefer the one in Sheffield - there seemed to be a lot of tourists at the one in Negril ( just off the turn around) that weren't there to worship - but rather out of curiosity or to take some pictures or whatever.. The church in Sheffield was much smaller - more intimate - and any visitors they had were there for the worship of God and not to sight see.. Anyway - that was our perception.. Hope you are able to connect with believers there and be blessed!
