Time to Worship, Do Not Neglect Church

Last week, the president asked for a day of prayer and we were still allowed to hold gathering of 50 or less.  Although many gathering places like concert halls, sports arenas, and bars were required to be closed, Christian churches and other places of worship were still open for their members.  Some of those offered live streaming services as well to keep the required physical body limit and provide for the spiritual needs of those unable to physically attend on Sundays.

"And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, 
but encourage one another,  
especially now that the day of his return is drawing near." 
- Hebrews 10:25 (NLT) 

This week the gathering number was lowered to 10. Many church choirs or worship teams are ten or more, so the body count is met just with them.  Then came the announcement that places of worship were also required to close.  Just because the building is not open, does not mean you should neglect your church.  Check Facebook and other social sites to see if your church is live streaming or providing a recorded service.   It is important that you feed your soul during these trying times.  For those without the internet or do not use social media, church may be watched on television or listened to on radio.  Although you may not be physically attending church together, the technology exists to be virtually gathered.    Also, do not neglect your financial support of the church too.

"So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ." 

- Romans 10:17 (NLT)

You can do more than virtually attend church, you can share your on-line services with others too.  Right now, we all need to turn to Christ for help and salvation.  We can help our churches to flourish during this crisis.  Let others know about what your church is doing and their services by posting them in the comments below this post, then sharing this link on your social media and asking others to do the same.  Put your church name, the FB page or website URL, whether recording or live service days/times, and the church denomination.  Why include the denomination?  If someone is looking for comfort in a familiar setting from their past, they will look for that - so let them know.  I plan to re-share this post for many days in order to let more people know about the services in the hopes that not only does virtual attendance rise but many more will come to Christ.  Please share this link with your friends, followers, etc and ask them to do the same.  In this time of need, all of us together can share Christ and his church with the world!
