]]> Comment on A recent survey shows…… by Tony Schramm https://perryhallumc.org/a-recent-survey-shows/#comment-5 Tony Schramm Mon, 31 Oct 2011 15:40:57 +0000 http://perryhallpastor.wordpress.com/?p=61#comment-5 For me, it is the fellowship, support and love that I feel from my church family. It is volunteering my time to assist with supporting the ministries of the church, in all its iterations. It is the community outreach that we do, whether it be the food pantry, the thrift shop, the holiday baskets, the deaf church, assisting at soup kitchens, or in other ways. It is helping in the community. It is the personal giving that I do, whether monetarily, or through items that are given, or by time I have offered. It is my way of sharing the gifts that God has provided for me with those who are struggling to meet their needs. It is the handshake, the hug, the advice I receive and give, the new people I meet every day, the smiles that I try to share with everyone I see, known and unknown. I try to take in the love in the world that others offer, while also sharing some of mine. It is the mentoring I receive, intentional or not, by watching others.

On my list, I also add Christian fellowship and suffering as a means by which God extends grace into our lives through his Holy Spirit. Cool stuff, I am glad to have discovered your ongoing blogdom... ;-) Blessings, win I find the categories interesting, there are a lot of things on this list done apart from the body; our focus is usually that which is done within the body of Christ: corporate worship, prayer, the sacraments, the proclamation of the Word, etc… On my list, I also add Christian fellowship and suffering as a means by which God extends grace into our lives through his Holy Spirit.

They work very hard for their cause AND their church, and they love their fellow congregant, and for that matter all of their sisters and brothers in Christ, openly. So why won't the Methodist Church return that love? I know several same-sex couples, some from our own congregation, who are very passionate for God and the World.
