I've been to Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox, Lutheran, and Episcopalian masses, as well as a couple of touchy-feely, interdenominational megachurch services replete with loud rock bands, scantily-clad girls, coffee, and scones. I've also attended a methodist service and a few fire-and-brimstone calvinist-type services, including Pentecostal and Baptist. I've been to a Jewish temple as well.
I've been to several Buddhist and Dao temples, and lit the incense and put a yuan in the cup and bowed my head and burned my fingers, but I'm not sure those count as "services" since it's a walk-in type event. Similarly, I've been in a mosque, removed my shoes, and watched as some devotees bowed and prayed, but it wasn't during one of the big prayer times so it probably doesn't count as a service either. I also had lunch with the Krishnas a few times in college. It was vegetarian, but it was free, and all I had to do for it was listen to their spiel and chant some mantras.
