Dear Pavo Baptist Church Family and Friends: Some years ago, I was given a stack of yellowed papers by an elderly retired pastor who was a member of the church where I was pastor. He had hoped I might be able to use some of the items. To be quite honest, I wasnt particularly interested in reading some outdated material, and I definitely didnt need the clutter. However, in that stack was an early 60s church newsletter from a Florida Southern Baptist Church where a gentleman was pastor who had served the church where I was presently the pastor. That Pastors Column caught my eye. Though typewritten and mimeographed (do you remember those?), and now yellowed and brittle with age, the illustration therein piqued my interest because it is timeless. That pastor began telling a story of why he was not at church on a particular Sunday, and that he didnt think anyone would really notice that he was not there. After all, other people just didnt show up some Sundays and things went on. The story continued, sounding so convincing that it had really happened. The Pastor then revealed that the story was fictitious on his part, but that the situation did happen quite often in many church families. You know, churches have always been challenged by the selfish desire to just stay home, for whatever reason. Lets remember that church attendance is so important for at least these reasons: Gods Word calls us to a Holy Assembly on a regular basis. Because we are the Church, the Bride of Christ, our desire ought to be to spend time with our Husband, Christ. Sunday is the day we celebrate the Resurrection, and we owe Christ our All! Bible Study and Worship disciples us, and makes us Holy! Full churches and church parking areas gives a testimony to the world of who is our First Love! The absence of our automobiles and our bodies from our home in masse gives testimony to our First Love! Our children will follow in our footsteps, so we ought to give them perfect examples. See you at church every Sunday, and Wednesday! Even if we are on vacation over Sunday, be in someones church. May we never take a vacation from our Lord! In the Matchless Name of Jesus, Timothy C. VanLandingham
