Why is In-Person Church Attendance Required?

February 5, 2023 SS, Various.

"Membership has its privileges." So says the marketing slogan of American Express starting back in 1987. But when we are talking about being part of (a member of) a church, it has far more than just a few scant privileges. It has massive responsibilities and blessings. Being a formal member is not just having access to a list of "perks."

For those who have forgotten, I thought it would be a good time to remind us about our responsibilities and blessings as members of our local church, and in particular what that means for in-person ministry and attendance at meetings.
