A family reunion

I love Sundays at church. Every week is like a family reunion. I think sometimes we get caught up in all the activity. All of us who are regulars at church are busy running around, getting ready for Sunday School or setting up for choir and worship. Sometimes the morning is fairly stressful, especially if it has been a hectic week at home. But when you really think about it, getting together to sing with friends or check in with people you have been with for a while is really special.

I like the people who make up our church family. You do too or else you probably wouldn't keep coming back. Many of us have forged friendships over time. We have been together in moments of crisis. We have celebrated good times together too! The people we greet each week have become a part of our lives.

I think that is why I look forward to special events at church .They give us the opportunity to visit and enjoy each other a little longer. Coffee hours after special Sundays, Bible studies and fellowship events like movie nights and progressive dinners are great times. Hey, even the time we spend at work parties and events like the Tag Sale can be fun because of the people we are with.

So know this. You are missed when you are away. So don't be a stranger. I'll see you next Sunday.
