I have noticed that the attendance at worship has become increasingly less frequent. There are many reasons why people stop attending the church to which they belong, but when that happens, both the church and the individual lose. God has so made us that we need mutual support and fellowship. And the nature of the Christian faith is that it thrives best with in a community of believers.
Perhaps, something has happened to cause a change? If the infrequent attendance is a result of some disappointment with the church or its people, I’d like an opportunity to discuss it with you, and if possible to help bring about a positive resolution of the matter. I’m finding that many “other” commitments are taking priority over Sunday worship and I would be failing you as your pastor if I did not acknowledge the evident change of point of view towards making worship a priority.
Every single one of you are a valuable part of our congregation. This is my personal invitation to you to join with the rest of us for worship this Sunday. You are important to our fellowship. I hope to see you there!
Keeping the faith,
Pastor Mark
