Hi friends! COVID did a number on the body of Christ. We were locked down, locked out, and masked up. It ruined many bodies of believers. Some churches never re-opened their doors. Many believers never returned to fellowship in a local body of believers, despite this Biblical admonition:

²⁴ And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, ²⁵ not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.

~Hebrews 10:24-25

Life is in the body of Christ, and as believers, we can no better survive outside a body of fellow believers than a piece of coal can remain hot away from the fire. We need one another.

If you are one who has struggled to get back into fellowship following COVID, I encourage you to find a place to plug in. The day of our redemption is approaching, but until then, we will not make it on our own. (As a side note, the powers that be are working right now to shut down society again, citing a new COVID strain. Let’s not be fooled again!)

For those in the Southern California area, there is a special opportunity for you. On September 8 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Pastor Jack Hibbs is hosting JUST CHURCH. It is a call to bring believers back home. No cost to park or to attend…it is totally free! If you are anywhere near Anaheim, this will be a special event and you will be blessed. (The event will not be live streamed. That would defeat the purpose!)

If you are not in the Anaheim area, please find a solid Bible-teaching church near you and plug in!
