C and E People Are Regular Attenders

“For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.”

Matthew 18:20

“Attend church regularly….” that is what the pastor said.

I sat listening to the sermon, “Get Spiritually Fit for the New Year,” and I thought that seemed like a good start.  Then I thought about the people who only come to church at Christmas and Easter and I thought, well they do attend church regularly, just not real regular.  Then I thought about what we can do to help make those “C and E” people want to come to church more often.

Perhaps, a good start would be how we as a church greet the C and E’s.  We should not say something snide about their sporadic attendance, but we should greet them with, “I am glad to see you.” And then make some small talk.

Then the next time there is a potluck after church, call them up and invite them to come and tell them won’t need to bring anything because you will bring an extra dish.  If your church does not have potluck dinners, maybe they should start.  Jesus was big on feeding people and we should be too.

And, perhaps if you are a C and E person, you too might try to attend church regularly, because we miss you.
