He said he missed the house-to-house interaction too.
However, I do get with saints in at least two, small and informal brothers' gatherings every week, for very good fellowship. We fellowship openly and eat together. Sometimes there will be one or two other times of fellowship and food with saints during the week. So while the quantity is maybe not like I remember in some bygone LC times, the quality is pretty good . . .

How AWESOME!!!!
I am pretty close to my bible study friends but if I don't initiate prayer or fellowship outside out bible study day, we don't fellowship. They don't read the Word much less study it. We do get together for game night, dinner, chat on the phone, help each other out as needed.
As to our bible study, people are very vocal, agreeing or disagreeing. I do like that at bible study people are free to ask questions, to disagree if they want..and no one comes down on them.
One problem in our bible study is we are reading strictly through the OT. We are about to start 2 Samuel next week. Most of the group are baby Christians. They do not know anything about their spirit. They don't understand, know or experience the Power of Christ's Blood. They know mentally that He shed His Blood for our sins. But that's it. I also don't think they are interested YET.
I share and explain as the Holy Spirit leads. Gotta feed the milk before feeding them meat..
Good to see you on the forum SOG!
