What I love about American churches

Ofcourse plenty of other Countries do this.

I love how consistently you guys do midweek bible studies and also how you always seem to do fellowship meals after services- I cannot stress the importance of bonding with fellow believers, you can read all the classics like Spurgeon (obviously the Bible comes first) and do charity, etc but if you do not have fellowship with Christians you will not go as far in your journey.

Unfortunately the main church of my wife and I only do Sunday services BUT they do have missions evenings which include a meal based on the Country along with words of encouragement from Christians in that country - our church is a great, diverse church meaning people from all over the world attend and there will certainly be Christians from the Country mentioned 😄

What my wife and I do though to get consistent fellowship during midweek is go to a local church's bible study which is great and diverse like our church, I emphasise this as we are all one in the body of Christ.

Who knows what the future holds for the UK church but hopefully we follow you guys and start doing more fellowship meals!

I attend a Monday night Men's Bible Study and the Pastor holds a big Bible Study on Wednesday night for everyone.
@Musicman Aren't doing those events great?

@BritishFailedAesthetic Yes they are! When we lived in Virginia the church did a Wednesday night dinner with a small service afterwards. Here in Florida they only do dinner on special occasions. ☹️
@Musicman Well, at least they still do regular bible studys!

When you do these events regularly you see the amazing results of fellowship- such as great encouragement!

@BritishFailedAesthetic They are not pre set dates. Something special just has to come up like a 50! year church anniversary. I wish they would do them more often.
@Musicman
I wish they would do them more often.

Yeah, same! I really hope and pray the other church my wife go to midweek continue doing the bible study as it is so encouraging. 😌

@BritishFailedAesthetic Yes they are. I definitely enjoy going. We always have cookies and coffee with ours too. In Virginia it was doughnuts and coffee. Do you have a treat with your Bible Study?
@Musicman Unfortunately not, just glasses of water 😅

Wouldn't say no to cookies or other treats though 🤭

@BritishFailedAesthetic Treats are always good. They make any event better. People show up 20 minutes early to sample them and socialize.
