Welcome jstn1040:
Yeah, after sacrament we have Sunday School and a third hour dedicated to study in groups as well. You will go with the brethren and gather with the priesthood.
A note: in ancient Israel, most people did not live in Jerusalem. But if you happened to live with three days-travel time then you would come and offer sacrifices several times per year. A visit to Beit HaMikdash or the Holy House took several hours. For ones, there may be several hundred people trying to offer sacrifice that day as well. Afterwards, you would go to the courtyard and pray for a half an hour or so by yourself and then meet your wife, if you were married (who was on a different courtyard) at the gate.
On the Sabbath you would go to the synagogue at sundown for 2-3 hours, go home and eat lightly and go back several times during the night depending on the time of the year, how many children you had, their ages and the like.
So, the Christians in the Roman empire had a "light version" of the Sabbath. I think there is evidence that the apostles did not want to burden the rest of the disciples and the saints with long meetings and rules and preferred to concentrate on the faith building tasks of reading the scriptures, preaching to them and caring for the poor and the weak.
Yes, it is a bit longer than your typical RC mass.
