Back to basic methods for growing faith and developing a relationship as God's beloved children. Follow liturgical seasons (Advent, Lent), read the lectionary bible readings (textweek.com), pray for joys and concerns, sing hymns (HymnSite.com), collect an offering, fellowship over sandwiches after church. I became a member in 1993. My favorite scripture: The peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7, NIV). Church helps us to guard our hearts and minds, keeping them focused on God's purposes.
