Does anyone else live a long way from the nearest church?

I’m trying to find a church as I’m not sure my home church meets my spiritual needs anymore. I love my pastor and my fellow church goers but without going into detail: things have changed.

I really think the Lutheran church is the best fit for me as I prefer a reverent worship service with a focus on liturgy, if that makes sense.

My issue is I live in a rural area and the nearest Lutheran churches are more than an hours drive away. Since I work the night shift on Saturdays it makes it very tough to make the only worship service these churches offer.

Does anyone else have an issue like this? How do you resolve it?

Apologies if this question is out of line.
