This is what growing churches have going for them, real fellowship. We need to regain that sense of connectedness. Being a true Christian, a disciple of Jesus, is not a me thing it’s a we thing.

Will you get excited about doing God’s work?

Can you do more to encourage other people in the church?

Can we stir-up the church, be each other’s cheerleaders?

Do we believe God can use this church to change the world?

Will you join in the harvest?
