When I look around at the People of God gathered together (the Church) every Sunday, I never know who will be there.
There are many varied reasons for individuals not being at the gathering of God's people commonly called the Church. Illness, vacations, family requirements, baseball/football games, too early, too late, I was out late last night, too boring, or I am just not interested.
When I first became a believer in Jesus (to many a Christian), I travelled two hours to get to church. It was a liturgical church, but not like Bishop Seabury Anglican Church. It was a liturgical Church because it was a public service that followed a bulletin (ritual). We gathered, had an opening prayer, sang another hymn, heard a sermon, prayed, sang a closing hymn, and went home. Wasn't very exciting, but it was something that I believed the Lord commanded.
