We live in an age where face-to-face contact is becoming an option.  You can do all your shopping and even receive a college degree from home, while you have to pay money to talk to a bank teller.

Spending time together as a church body is not a new idea.  But what our fellowship is lacking so often is familiarity.  We have a pot-lucks and bible studies with people we see once a week and we expect to have life altering friendships as a result.  Cultivating relationships that you can depend on in times of crisis, that you share life’s joys and tragedies with, and that know the real you with all your warts and inconsistencies takes more than a fellowship program, it takes living life together.  A church whose body lives life together is a church whose members are in deep fellowship.
