Hello, blessings to you and May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God.
So God has put the body together
…...so that all the members care for each other.
1Corinthian 12:24-25 NLT
I can remember as a young boy going to church on a Sunday morning and seeing the
church filled with people. The church I attended had four services on a Sunday so it may well have
been that the service I attended just happened to be the most popular service. Whatever the
reason, this makes me think there was a time not too long ago when everyone got up on a Sunday
morning and without even giving it a thought, prepared the family and themselves for church.
Now I know our society has experienced vast changes in the period since then. Many businesses
are now opened every day of the week, while our schools, sports programs, and non-profit
organizations schedule events at the same time as many church services. Some of these events
being held at these times are for very good causes, like raising awareness for Breast Cancer, or
Heart Disease, or any number of other causes. So I know there are various events that can keep a
person away from church on a Sunday morning, some more closely related to the insight of the
gospel than others.
Regardless of what keeps a person away from church, many times when a person misses
church for a few weeks it becomes very difficult to convince themselves that they will be welcomed
back. So they stay away and many times the weeks turn into months and the months turn into
years and they realize it’s just easier to stay away from church than to come back. One reason
they may feel this way is the fear they will hear comments like “where have you been?” or “well,
well, we haven’t seen you in a while!” These comments are apt to be thought of as just some good
natured ribbing by those who are saying them but many times they can be a major part of why
people don’t come back to church after missing significant time. Who really wants to be reminded
that they haven’t been to church for a while; especially as soon as they walk in the door? Being
greeted in this way would make anyone feel inferior! This is also true when we see people outside
of church or if we are calling someone or communicating through other electronic means, we
shouldn’t start a conversation with anyone who hasn’t been to church and who may be struggling
with a personal inferiority by exposing that inferiority and stomping on it!
So if you haven’t been to church in a while and want to know if you are welcome -- the
answer is a resounding YES! The church is not just for the holy but for all people who want to
expand their relationship with God, find forgiveness, and give God praise. And if you are those
who do attend most Sundays -- please remember that we are called to care and to be
compassionate to all who walk through the doors of Christ’s church. As Paul says, God has put the
body (the church) together so all members care for each other. One of the greatest ministries we
can perform in the name of Jesus is to be welcoming. We do this best by letting others know we
are truly concerned with them and what is happening in their life.
May the God of love and peace be with you all.
Pastor Mike

Harvest Home
Sunday, October 13
To help with this collection, you can bring either a non-perishable food item to support our Food Bank
or make a donation to Church World Service CROP Walk on that day. Also on October 13, each
worship bulletin will have an insert from “Bread for the World” regarding hunger. The insert has a
petition on the back that will be returned to President Barack Obama. The petition asks the President
to work with Congress on a plan to end hunger in the US and abroad. During the service we will
discern this petition through prayer and there will be time set aside to sign and collect the inserts.
Together we can help eradicate hunger both here and throughout the world.

Pastor will make every effort to be there to visit and pray with
the patient before the surgery.

Remember, it is
important to keep us
informed of any address
changes. Please give
