A REMEMBRANCE BOOK

Did you enjoy wonderful fellowship with the saints this weekend, either Saturday or Sunday? Church is far more than going to a service, isn't it? It's the fellowship of the saints together. After our animated service each Sunday, where we not only receive a teaching Word, but where folk have opportunity and freedom to also share from the Word and what God is doing in their lives, we enjoy a Fellowship Meal together. Some days this goes on to the late afternoon and even into the evening, and sometimes late evening. It's not just about going to an event, but being part of one another's lives, isn't it?

This includes the children and the young people. There is no greater riches for young people than to be surrounded by other godly young people who can enjoy FUN and FELLOWSHIP together. Last night we celebrated Vision's 9th birthday. The children and young people from babies up to twenties enjoyed games and doing skits together. It's so wonderful to see everyone enjoying each other with all ages included. And it's so easy to get a party together here. A couple of phone calls to the families on the land and there are anywhere from 20 - 30 to celebrate together.

We all go through different seasons in our lives. We currently enjoy Fellowship Meal after our service because we have it in our home (in our big fellowship room which is also our Above Rubies packaging room). However, in times when my husband has been pastoring other churches, we would invite people back to our home for fellowship after church.

Malachi 3:16 says, "Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name."
