Default Re: Fellowship

Hello to all
1/ Do I fellowship with other christians?
Whereever I meet them. I am doing a door knocking job right now. Not the sort that immediately springs to mind This is for a research company. I have met quite a few christians as I talk to them in their homes ,and had some good fellowship. So encouraging to know there are so many out there.
2/Am I involved in home group fellowships?
Not yet, as we have recently moved. But we used to meet with a family from the Baptist church. We did this for 7 years as we were on an isolated island and frankly desperate. They were a great blessing to us and we got to experience a 'normal' relationship with another christian family. We not only had meetings together, but did other stuff,: had meals, taught our children with others, helped people in the community and so on. We were taught by them how to have a normal life, with Christ expressed in it, rather than removing ourselves from normal life, supposedly for the Lord
3/ Do I go to church?
My family have chosen to attend a local church gathering here. I go with them. We now just stay for the Lord's table and singing and leave before the 'ministry' starts. None of us can stand it. But the christians there are loving and we enjoy their fellowship.
4/Do I fellowship with LC'S?
Yes. We have been regularly going to a sisters home for a sing song round her piano. The kids love this. The family is ex brethren and love the bible, which we sometimes read. Her mother is elderly and loves to hear the children sing, so we have been meeting each others needs. This hjas stopped for the time being as she is away, and we sorely miss her.
5/ Aside from the bible, what do I read?
Of course, 'A Future and a Hope' and 'Solid' by John Myer. I also enjoy the Creation magazines and anti evolutionary books put out by a group called Creation Ministries International. Our children have been raised on these and can give an answer to most athieistic and evolutionary questions.
6/ Do I listen to christian music?
Whenever I can. Obviously, we have different tastes in the family, but I listen to CD's in my car and also the local christian station.
Often as a family we gather around the piano to sing old hymns. I don't think I could get through this difficult time where the church is in disarray and the world is getting steadily darker, without songs of praise.
We don't have a TV, so cannot watch it, which is a blessing.
Grace and Peace to you all!
