I have a project for you.
I am starting a new series this week – Why You Should Come To My Church.
I am going to be talking about the things we find, or should find, in our churches that make being a part of the church something that is indispensable in a person’s life. What is it about church that a person is just not going to have in his or her life if he or she is not tied to a community of believers?
So here is the project for you – text me, email me, Facebook me, call me or simply reply right here with the answer to this question.
Why is your church indispensable to you?
I can’t wait to hear from you!
Be blessed today!
Clay in the Hands 
Going to church keeps me grounded concerning what is important. It helps by reminding me to be more than a hearer of the word by actively being of service to my neighbor.
Thanks Clayton! We all need to be reminded regularly don’t we.
First, I must say that church is my job. Well, sort of. I work at two churches and have pondered why people go to church and what makes it different that social clubs or service clubs. It’s a current conversation in one of my churches. Aside from working at a church (so obviously I go) – for me, church is the community with which I worship and glorify God. It is a community where I can learn and be challenged in my faith, theology and practice of such. It is a community that has more resources together than I do individually to make a difference for the Kingdom. It is a community where I can gain strength to go out and make disciples.
Lory,
Well said. Thanks for sharing. I think you are right – there is strength and energy that comes from community.
No matter where we go all around the country I always go to church on Sunday. Every mass said in the Catholic church is exactly the same everywhere I go and to me that’s just like being HOME. I am always home with my huge Catholic family in God and that always makes me feel welcome no matter where I am. Hugs!
What a wonderful example of the larger community!
I like going to church because I know that I am a ‘cog’ in ministry. God’s purpose can be carried out without me if I refused, but to make the machine do its job effectively, I need to show up physically and figuratively with the gift I have been provided. We go to battle everyday so I like having a place to regroup and find/give support to those who are also seeking their purpose.
What an awesome response! Thanks Janet
