this is kind of late… but i’m just catching up on mr. knaggs blog. one thing that i am facing in nashville right now is the need to create programs for people, not people for programs. i don’t think it’s in the interest of christ to maintain salvation meetings simply because we feel obligated to do so because of our identity or history. if there is a need, let’s meet it; whether that means having a sunday night service, a midweek service, or “celled” bible studies.

am missing the east! love you all.

I know I miss a good Salvation Meeting. My wife and I are involved in Sunday Prayer Meeting, Bible Study and Sunday Worship, we would like to have a local Corps Evening meeting to attend. It would be nice for fellowship, praise and some feeding. I know the purpose of worship is to worship Him, it would be nice to do it with others.

I was saved at an evening meeting.

This discussion is great. Keep it up.

You’re both so right. I’m inspired.

"Church" isn't a place or a meeting, it's the people who love Jesus and I'm a part of it! So are many (all?) of us commenting. And I'm glad to know you, because you're related by blood!

"Church" isn't about following any special kind of format, it's about fellowship and meeting each other's needs; actually being the family we claim to be in Jesus. That means making sure I'm a part of your life more than just on Sundays.

I must admit I don't relate very often to too many people I see in my church during the week. I'm not happy about that, so I'm trying to change. It's hard work. But I'm committed (my brother says I should be committed!) to getting better at that.

I wonder- if we did more regular connecting with our Christian family, would we actually be accomplishing more (spiritually) than just sitting next to them one day a week?

I'd like to think so anyway.

i am pleased to see a forum where there is some discussion on this topic. community comes in a variety of forms and sometimes without form.
creativity breeds community too.

if christ is lifted up, he will draw all people to himself. the last thing we need however, is yet another prescribed program or 'exciting initiative' that must be done.
we have so many resources in our existing structures and people.

see you sunday night!!
