Princess, I would ask the city what the noise ordinances are. Most don't allow noise before 8am or after 10pm. Make that church follow the letter of the law.

Princess,
Have you sat down and spoken with the Pastor? If that gets, or has gotten nowhere then, I would find out if they are part of a denomination or affiliation. Then write to the HQ and inform them of the problem. Perhaps that would solve the problem. The big thing to remember is this, do not threaten them with legal action. Once the threat of legal action is made they will turn it into a 1st amendment violation issue. Just place it in writing, send it to the pastor, and the denominations HQ.
Personally, I don't think this group is very mature. I would love to know who this group is. I have a suspicion though.

Beats the hell out of the kids being given "Jesus Juice"
Hell Week AKA Vacation Bible School at the church behind us is almost over. There are approximately five more minutes of screaming left, followed by a "free carnival" at 5pm, then nothing until Sunday when we'll be gone anyway. YAY I understand, really, all I can say is YIKES!
I use quotes on the "free carnival" because I have to wonder, is anything really free? Nothing is free, but sometimes YOU don't have to pay. It makes me so angry when they go out of their way to invite MY children without consulting me first. This is underhanded and should NEVER be done, I abhor it. Obviously we despise them, we've made that quite clear. If not before, then now. They still try to suck us in via the kids. BASTARDS! So now I get to be the ogre who has to tell them that we won't be attending the "free carnival" this year. Nice, huh! Of course ALL their friends are attending so the tears come. PIZZA HUT!
We have attended in the past only to be sought out by the youth pastor who introduces us as the people who live there (pointing at our house) who I've told you about. Well, that can only mean one thing. IF such an introduction is made again, confront. "REALLY< WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN TOLD?" The only thing he'd be able to say is that we are the ones who come over and tell them to shut up, they are lousy neighbors, woke us up at 5am Saturday...etc...etc..etc... 5AM on a Saturday, there aren't quiet hours in your community? Steve was steamed last time and we have avoided them at all costs. Plus the church ladies give me nasty looks and all the carnival give aways are Jesus toys. D*mned insidious b*st*rds! Sorry, hard to commesurate with you on this one issue...like I said above, it's better than Jesus Juice.
DON'T BUY A HOUSE NEXT TO, IN FRONT OF OR BEHIND A CHURCH. Unless you like the church and it's schedule. Imagine how the priest of a Catholic Church feels, he lives right there at the church.
