Mark, Beyonce, and Crab Legs

For my lunch partners yesterday. . .

 

Did that title grab your attention?  I hope so!  That little teaser is all that I'm going to share with you because that silly phrase came about at lunch yesterday and this blog is not about lunch or Mark. Beyonce, and Crab Legs.  This blog is about something that is dear to my heart and that "something" is fellowship. 

 

One of my absolute favorite parts of being a Christian is fellowship – hanging out with the body of Christ.  Fellowship is so wonderful and so important to me.  It is a vital part of feeling like I belong in the church. 

 

Below is a short list of some attributes of fellowship that I have experienced: 

 

Eating (Hooray!)

Praying

Studying

Serving

Praising

Crying

Sharing

Laughter

 

If you feel like you are missing something in your life as a Christian I would tell you to be sure that you are hanging out with Christian folks.  This can be in friendships, a small group environment, at a special service such as Night of Worship or Christmas Eve, through service, membership or Fresh Start classes, or even just milling around in the church lobby before or after service. 

 

I challenge you to seek fellowship with someone in the body of Christ.  If you currently hang out with church folk, think about some of the fun moments you have shared together.  You may just reflect on or come up with your own headline that puts "Mark, Beyonce, and Crab Legs" to shame.
