The pastor and elders of the congregation are working on contacting those we have lost track of over the years. It’s a lot of work, but work that brings with it Jesus’ words of eternal life. Without the Gospel, faith simply dies away from lack of spiritual nourishment. Before you know it, going to church is just not a priority anymore. Other things take over, but none of those things will save a person for eternal life. If you have missed church a lot lately, please come back to church; don’t wait for a church worker to call! Everyone will sure be glad to see you, and you will benefit more than you can imagine, since “the Gospel is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes,” as St. Paul says in Romans 1:16.
