In the May/June 2011 ediction of Faith Network, Lenny Cacchio wrote an article that caught my eye since it closely parallels a few sermons I have give on the Sabbath, including one on June 25th.
From that article, I quote: "Religion is not a spectator sport. Nor is church a consumer item. It is not just what we get out of it. It is also what we put into it. He (a friend of Lenny's who had stopped going to church) could have kept right on attending with the idea of using his gifts and abilities to help solve some of the very problems he was complaining about. It is not about being served. It is also about being of service."
The loyal members of our congregational church understand this and work together to make each Sabbath the type of Sabbath that THEY want it to be.
