We are "The Church"

I missed this morning at my home church to help a friend do a second annual memorial service for Ryan Bard. He was a young man who lost his life in a terrible race car accident two years ago here in Abilene. Ryan was a believer and I understand often shared his faith. I never met him but have met his family. They are wonderful people who love the Lord. Jack ask us last year if we would help him with a worship service at the race track where Ryan passed away and we did it again this year. I always feel like I'm missing something when I miss my home church services. As much as I don't like that feeling it was worth it today. After we played I am sitting back watching Jack "preach" in a way only he could to a crowd that probably wouldn't show up at a church building. I have known the scripture "We are the Body of Christ" and" We are the Church ", but there was something about this morning where Jack made it come to life. It was a true blessing to watch and be part of. We really are the Body of Christ wherever we go. Thank you God for a great morning.
Peace and Love
