Church without `empowerment plus participation`,

Been asking myself what does it look like to join a church or community in a transitional period in your faith?
Do you have to be member of Church to be a Christian?

Professional l have attended but not been in membership of big C,Church.
( That`s means worked for or alongside in funded capacity.)
URC..ANGLICAN..METHODISTS..CATHOLIC..house ..evangelical.. 
of course there is the more practical `small or the little c church`.
 The big C is the community of believers throughout the world and across time. This is sometimes called the “invisible” church.

Church for me is when we gather and do things that are outworking of our actions.Faith in action. it is also about drama of talking to each other , to others, serving by yourself another who is in need or listening to another share a concern.
Sometimes we need to recall, it is when others of our faith have responded to our needs.
it is also when others have helped you and I .
Further when you receive support.
Plus when formally gather doing community around meal.Sharing study.
Involved in planning mission.

It about what we try to translate and communicate about our journey.The difference and better way of doing journey through Drama of life.
But not about on your own, we have to gather together even if occasionally.
There are some other concepts but not processing everything at this moment.

Church can not be about a person leading many by own words and examples.
Church without `empowerment plus participation`, from each member is not Church.


This is a plane promoting Hull City.
The person who has bought our team is trying hard to create within the constraints of a football gathering...A sense of community..
sense of belonging..
sense of journey together.
Sharing a mission
Holding a Vision...



God grant me the serenity to change my underpants,

the courage to know when l can wear them another day,

and the wisdom to know the difference...

HONESTLY REMEMBER THAT VERSION.

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
