I believe that there is something very important about gathering together as God's people to worship God even if we have to do the business of the church (read Synod) as well. Many people dislike going to Synod meetings because they believe it is a boring meeting taking time from the important work of God. I think they miss out. There is something very special about 500 or so people coming together to worship, sing, laugh and be moved by the Holy Spirit.
The same goes for Sunday worship. People seem to not be too bothered by missing worship now and then for special events. 'God understands.' Again, an opportunity is missed. God does understand and I am so thankful that God is faithful and shows up ceaselessly. The alternative, God not showing up is a pretty dismal thought.
I had an great time at Synod. I was inspired, filled with hope and a Spirit kind of energy. If I have any wisdom to give, it would be - to gather, God is here.
