We were really encouraged and stirred on Sunday to be mindful of those who are just not "thriving" within the life of the church at the moment. There may be a number of reasons for this evidence in people's lives, but the fact remains that we are, together, the body of Christ; a family of which Christ is the head and, when one part hurts, we all hurt. When one part is not "thriving", we need to be aware and stand along side them. 1 Corinthians 12:14 - 21 and 26 - 27.
Can we be mindful, in our times of prayer, to be lifting each other up, praying for the church and trusting that God would give each one of us strategies for how to embrace those that may find themselves on the outskirts; those that long for a sense of belonging but are just not sure how. Let's pray for a commitment and contentedness within the body of Christ.
God bless,
The Eldership team
