DEVOTION: "For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you-- that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each others, faith, both yours and mine." Romans 1:11-12
Why church? Why do we get together on weekends? Why do we spend money on things like a DCE or a pastor? Why do we have this fellowship called St. John's Lutheran Church? Why should you care about your church?
Some of you may be seriously asking these questions and many others like it. Others may have been neglecting worship and the fellowship of the church for one reason or another, maybe because you just don't see the reason for it.
Paul wrote the above note to his friends, his brothers and sisters in Christ in Rome, because he missed them. He missed being able to share the love of Christ. He missed their fellowship. He missed their encouragement and being able to encourage them in person.
Maybe you are missing the same things. Maybe you are wondering what this church thing is all about. Maybe you are disgruntled with the church and need a reason to come back.
This weekend is a perfect opportunity to get back into it!! It is Rally Day, a new beginning of sorts. A lot of things are happening!!
1. The Fall Session of Sunday school starts. Our teachers are working hard to make Sunday school an exciting and fun place to be. GET YOUR KIDS TO SUNDAY SCHOOL! We are also starting a study on Islam (Muslims) this Sunday.
2. Commitments Cards are due!! Please fill them out with what you have decided in your heart to give, not under compulsion but with joy, and bring them to church this weekend!
3. OUR NEW CHOIR IS GOING TO SING IN BOTH SERVICES!! I'm looking forward to hearing them and I know you are too!
4. THE PICNIC IS THIS SUNDAY!! We will be out at Mim Dunn's house on Sunday beginning at noon! her address is 17488 Hickory Lick Rd. If you want to get in or on the water make sure you bring your lifejackets. We want everyone to be safe.
I know that I miss A LOT of you when you are gone, especially if you have been gone for a long time.
We NEED church just like Paul did. I want to strongly urge you be at worship and Sunday school this weekend!! You won't regret it, and you will be blessed!!
Prayer: Lord God, thank you for the church. Even though it is made up of imperfect people, you make us perfect through your Son. Help us to see each other as your children and brothers and sisters in Christ. Amen.
