“Let us not give up meeting together… but let us encourage one another.” Hebrews 10:25
The fourth and final section of our church Membership Covenant at Grace Harbor Church says that we will support the testimony of our church. It is absolutely, vitally important that we meet together. We cannot be family without being together. Whether for potluck, Bible Study, worship or ministry, the time Christians spend together is the life blood of who we are. It is too easy to miss Sundays or studies or activities and they add up fast. If you miss two Sundays in a row and someone else misses a different two, you can miss seeing each other at all for over a month. Granted, we are family and cards, calls, texts and social media does help, but, we should be faithful about attending church. Many times I have wished everyone would just add one more time of involvement each month. I should say at this point that I know there are many of you that come every time the door is open. God bless you. Your faithfulness is appreciated. I will say now though that there are a number of you who miss too often. Then you tell me how much you missed it. So, like the verse says, “don’t give up.” Let’s encourage each other to be here more often. Let me encourage you now to make a commitment to not miss more than once a month. Also, how about a Bible Study or a fellowship event, or joining in a ministry or playing softball? Let’s get together more often. Fellowship is sweet, sweeter when everybody possible comes.
See you in church,
Pastor Fred
