Matthew 18:20 is about as close as one can get to helping define God's presence in worship, "For where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am among them."
Worship services are one of the few constants in the actual "doing" of church. Most of our other methods of church will come and go; worship is our standard. It's not just the Christian church, this is true for all major religions- people desire to come together and worship.
Our activity today is to call and invite someone back to worship that you have not seen in worship in some time. This is not because we want big numbers in worship services. Time and time again we have said we are not numbers type ministers. This activity is because we believe a few things: worship matters, all people desire to be part of authentic worship, and the Christian worship service remains central to our faith.
In worship, we find time to be silent and reflect on our lives and God. In worship, we find a community of people desiring God. In worship, we find God's presence. In worship, we find a calling to a life that matters.
We want you to invite others to worship because we believe these things are worth sharing.
