re: Light attendance at Church the last several Sundays

And do we have to be in a pew to worship our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?

No. Why would that matter?? You can worship whatever you want to no matter where you are.

I would prefer that one is in attendance. The church needs you and how you have been gifted by the Holy Spirit. As a member of the clergy, I need you to help me on my spiritual journey.

You are not an island. In fact, this idea that our brains are like computers that are fully in-charge of the meat puppet below it, is simply a delusion.

We are extremely social creatures, and most of our actions are instinctual and imitative.

Humble yourself and worship your God with a contrite heart. Believe what you Savior taught you, to take his body and blood and feed your soul.

Today’s first reading was from the Acts. After Saul (Paul)’s conversion,!he sought out the apostles in Jerusalem and spent time in community with them.

Paul could have begun teaching on his own, but he knew that he needed the community of believers to strengthen his faith and to be taught the ways of Jesus by those who lived with him.
