The Church Is Calling You
Church attendance is way down34 total reviews
Comment from Janet Foor
A wonderful poem. You are so right, church attendance is way down. Even a few years ago it was better than today. I heard one person say, "the church doesn't meet my needs" and I thought, boy do they have things backwards.
Well done.
Blessings

What a wonderful poem. I love the sentiment of hope and the chance for each person to come and sit among everyone (God welcomes all)...each of us has a choice. Your poem does a beautiful job describing the hope to help others have eternal life.

My uncle used to express such thoughts to me as you do in the poem. Eternal life and soul exist and all we can do is nourish the soul, for the Eternity to become our sweet and peaceful embrace. I grew up in my parents house just behind the Church. Here, in California I have to drive almost one hour to my favorite Christian Orthodox Church...I always use the handful excuse! May God bless you!

this is definitely six worthy. I am lacking one. Know if I had it, you'd be getting it.
It flowed well, had great rhythm. The message was solid and timely and the presentation was simplistic and lovely. The rhyme was smooth and free flowing also. There's nothing here not to like, Jaybird. I agree, we need to sit with the sinners to appreciate the righteous. We need his grace. Thanks so much for writing a great reminder for us all.

This wonderfully penned work, reminds me of Christ's promise, "Come to me you heavy laden and I will give you rest, Matthew 11: 28. Beautifully written. I never searched for God, but I wanted hope, and God found me. An excellent post, of knowing the place to join in unity of others
unburdening oneself. Well done, blessings. Roy

After reading the first stanza, my thoughts ran amok as to why the pew was empty.
Was it bereavement, illness, or just plain "I'm not going to bother this week?"
I was relieved in the final verse when it became apparent that laziness was the reason.
Some of us seem to get by with one Sunday per month is fine. As my father used to say."When He needs me, He knows where to find me!"
Well thought out and written

I don't have your faith, but I did enjoy your poem. It gave me the feeling of tranquility, when I did go to church. I don't go to anymore. Partly because I'm an agnostic and partly, if I went to church people would get the wrong idea about me. Some things I've done I can't take back and no one can forgive. Somethings I've done, I'd do over again. After death I will go where ever I am suppose to go. If faith brings a person comfort, it's a good thing. If it's use it hurt, it's not so good. I see nothing but kindness in your writing and I admire that. Best wishes.

Hi
This is a well-written poem about how Religion today has dwindled away and those very few that do attend is a mixed lot of sinner/ children that have arrogance. I have seen at church where the kids seem all innocent at church and as soon as it's over literally burn down the local scout hall. I heard them say they were going to do it. But didn't think they actually would. Shocking really.
Great job
Regards
Tia
