My family sits in the second and third pew, and the only reason we don't use the front pew is that the organist and her family sit there, and the elders use it for Communion on those Sundays.

Now, suggesting that we voluntarily change pews, that would be the scandalous thing.

We always sit in the second pew from the front, if we get there on time. ;o) The Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist sit in the front pew, unless their families are at the same Mass, and they decide to sit with them.

Most folks don't like to sit in front because they don't want to walk all the way up from the back. We come in the side door, from the Parish Hall below, so it's just a few steps from the pew.
