Missing Church

I miss church.

Psalm 150
"Praise the Lord! Praise God in His sanctuary. Praise Him in his mighty heavens!"

 

I miss the spiritual connection of people gathering in a holy place, worshiping a divine Savior.

Matthew 18:20 

"Where two or more are gathered in my name, there I am among them."

I miss the former routine of Sunday worship -  the gathering of friends for Sunday School, the choral call to worship, the busy-ness of the Eucharist, the processional fanfare of candles held high, robes and voices harmonizing, organ pipes, the greetings to one another, light streaming through the stained glass, the prayers, the sermon, the benediction, the fellowship. 

Acts 2:22 And they devoted themselves to the teaching and the fellowship, the breaking of bread and prayer.

I miss singing to one another, "May the Lord, mighty God, bless and keep you forever. Grant you peace, perfect peace - courage in every endeavor. Lift up your eyes and see His face and His grace around you. May the Lord Mighty God, bless and keep you forever."

Psalm 95:5 O Come let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.
