Yes, I know that Jock. The point I was making is that to some, although not all, worship is formal and formal day wear should be worn. Even more so for a special event

Think of it in terms of going to the palace to be invested by the Queen. It's considered the same level of formality because you are going to be in God's house to meet with Him

Others are more relaxed and will wear the tweed, or even just go in shirtsleeves, but formal is never too formal if that's what you want to do. You can't simply use the norm of saying it's not a formal daytime event because, to many, it is (hope that makes sense)
