CHURCH ATTENDANCE
Why should you attend church on a regular basis? Let me share some reasons I read in an
article by Dale A. Robbins, Why Should Christians Attend Church?
It honors the Lord’s Day. The Bible says in Exodus 20:8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep
it holy.” The Sabbath became know as the Lord’s Day. It is a day for Christians to fellowship
together in celebration of the resurrection, to worship, to pray and study God’s Word.
Church attendance follows the example of Jesus. Luke 14:6 says, "Jesus went back to
Nazareth, where he'd been brought up and as usual he went to the meeting place on the Sabbath."
The Bible tells us that "as usual" or another translation of the Bible says "as was His custom" Jesus
went to the place of worship. If worship was important to Jesus it should be important to us.
It provides us the opportunity to gather with other believers to publicly bear witness of our
faith and trust in God. It provides a time when we as a group can bring Him offerings of praise,
thanks and honor.
It provides an opportunity to develop relationships with other Christians. The Bible makes it
clear that a right relationship with God requires a “vertical” and a “horizontal” relationship; that is,
we must have a vertical relationship with God and a horizontal relationship with other believers.
Regular church attendance enables us to spiritually grow. Paul states that Christians face a
wrestling match with the Devil and his evil spiritual forces. He warns us that the church must put
on spiritual armor for our protection (Eph. 6:10-18).
Will I see you in church this Sunday?
Be Faithful,

Ways you can get involved..............
PACK A GIFT & PRAY. A shoebox filled with small
toys, hygiene items, and school supplies tangibly
demonstrates God’s love to a child in need. Guides for
how to pack a shoebox are available.
Remember to pray that God will touch the heart of
every child who receives a shoebox gift, and
that many children and families will come to faith in
Jesus Christ.
GIVE. A donation of just $7 per box makes it
possible for Operation Christmas Child to deliver
each gift that you pack to a child thousands of
miles away.
