What Is the Church When We Can’t Be Together?

What is the churchBy woodlandadminTuesday, May 19

“The church is not a building; the church is not a steeple; the church is not a resting place; the church is the people.”  I learned this little verse as a child and taught it to my children, and, it seems, that it is truly valid today.  The church is very present today although it…

What Is the Church When We Can’t Be Together?

What is the churchBy woodlandadminMonday, May 18

I believe we seek community when we come together as a church body. One dictionary defines “community” as “a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals’’. We gather on Sundays looking for a refinement of the definition of our common goals that are grounded in the example…

Greetings, Church Family.  I miss seeing you in Sunday School, in the hallways, and in the pews!  I miss your smiles and your hugs. We spoke easily of our church family when times were “normal,” pre-COVID-19.  We knew what “church family” meant.  No one had to define it.  We were “there” for each other…but what…

What Is the Church When We Can’t Be Together?

We are not the first group of Christians who try to define the church during difficult times. Martin Luther, the XVI century great reformer, affirmed that the preaching of the Gospel is essential to the identity of the church. Accordingly, our identity as a church is not found in a building or in a weekly…

During this time of safe physical distancing, what is the church when we can’t be together? For me, the church is as it always has been. I’ve experienced first-hand the way this church family bonds together and helps those who need help. When Jim died, I was completely blown away by the response of this…

What Is the Church When We Can’t Be Together?

What is the churchBy woodlandadminTuesday, May 12

Gathering together and knowing others care has been my experience of “being church” all of my life. During this time of paused conversations and hugs, I am realizing the joy of quiet contacts by cards, emails, and phone calls. Though I may not see another, the voice of care draws us closer. The text or…

What Is the Church When We Can’t Be Together?

What is the churchBy woodlandadminMonday, May 11

Years ago there were churches that posted on the signs around their campuses “Such and such a church meets in these buildings,” signifying, of course, that the church isn’t a building but a people. In this time of the Pandemic, I think that perspective really does identify who we are as a people. In some…

The Parables and Pandemic: How many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me?

Daily DevotionsBy Lisa ShinkinsThursday, April 23

Thursday, April 23rd Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times. Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.  As he…

Parables: The kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea

Daily DevotionsBy Lisa ShinkinsWednesday, April 22

Wednesday, April 22nd  Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and caught fish of every kind; when it was full, they drew it ashore, sat down, and put the good into baskets but threw out the bad.  –Matthew 13:47-48  (I have excluded the last two verses — “So…

Parables: Kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field

Daily DevotionsBy Lisa ShinkinsTuesday, April 21

Tuesday, April 21st  The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which someone found and hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. –Matthew 13:44  Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls;  on finding one pearl…
