If the church stays within its walls, it doesn’t mean much. That is not the purpose, to stay inside. The Church needs to expand out of its doors and take the message (the light)outside and greet, support and work in the community.
Church=love=nourishment=share or something like that.
@Hopeandjoy♫, it’s notable that the Catholic Mass is named after it’s final moment: once we receive the Body of Christ and bask for a brief moment in the presence of God, we get driven back out of our comfortable warmth into the hurly-burly of our lives in the world. Ite, Missa est! we are told: “Go! The Mass is finished!” (or maybe “Go! Be dismissed!”)
Yep, bmonk to paraphrase from several, Go, tell the good news to creation… make disciples of all. If you love me, feed my Sheep, tend my sheep, feed my lambs…. Follow me. (Lots of action verbs.)
“Remember, I am with you always…” A wonderful promise.
Have they stopped updating here?
If you read my comment I have a question. I know this is in scripture I have seen it but I don’t remember where located. Faith small as a mustard seed.

How about Mt. 17:20 or Luke 17:6?
