Page 6A Sunday morning worship with a congregation is typically known as “corporate worship” because it involves a group of people worshipping “corpo- rately” or together as a body: Down through the years, I have heard believers describe several ways that corporate wor-' ship positively influences their lives, and these positive influ- ences are not fully experienced by those believers who refuse to attend corporate worship ona regular basis: One way corporate worship affects our lives is by reminding us of the values that we share with other believers.

Monday night football proba- bly reminds us of values like friendship, loyalty and coopera- tion. Sunday morning worship, on the other hand, reminds us of our faith.in God, our shared ex- perience of the Holy Spirit and our commitment to live out our daily lives in keeping with the character of Jesus Christ. Our worship activities strengthen our faith because through them we are reminded that we share our spiritual values with other believers. A second way that corporate worship affects our lives is by re- minding us that an individual does not, cannot and ought not to local churches. Compliments of ALC YR 226 S. Washington St. ¢ Shelby !

Though we might like to believe the fiction that we dre self-sufficient, the fact is that we don’t birth ourselves, provide all of our food all by ourselves, or even shelter ourselves without some help from others. Regular participation in cor- porate worship teaches us that we need one another for life and confronts us with the truth that each individual believer’s experi- ence enriches the experiences of others. Human beings are meant to live in community, and we are only hurting ourselves when we imagine that we can be whole as Christians without regular corpo- rate worship.

Morality is not a private exer- cise; it requires shared dialogue within a community. In fact, even our conscience is not formed without the influence of parents in childhood, and as we mature we need input from an ever-widening collection of posi- tions and perspectives. Even interpreting the Scrip- ture is not merely a personal mat- ter, for the Bible is the result of God working through many be- lievers over the millennia, and it represents a continuing en- counter and dialogue with our Creator in which all believers participate. .
