What would it take to keep you from worship? Jail? Sports? Threat of losing your job? Your personal religion? Loss of your friends and family? Your personal pleasure?
Worship is a community activity. It draws us from all our relationships into God’s presence. From our connections into the relationship with the living God for which we were created.
It’s not about you. It’s about us. God has made of a bunch imperfect people into the Body of Christ.
Worship is a time set-apart for Word and Sacraments, to gather with other imperfect people and experience the promise of Jesus that, “For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.”
Matthew 18:20
We are not alone. We are a worshiping community formed by the living God.
