Why go to Church?

I have talked to a few people about why they attend Church on Sundays, It has been interesting to see the variation in reasons. Here are some of them...

• Teaching - Sunday mornings are about the teaching that comes from the pulpit.
• Fellowship - Sunday mornings are about gathering with other Christians for social reasons.
• Ministry - Sunday mornings are about seeing others connect with God in a way that is significant.
• Worship - Sunday mornings are about coming into Gods presence and experiencing his spirit inside.

I read a sample chapter from a book that will be coming out in the next few months called "Starving Jesus" (http://www.starvingjesus.com) in this chapter the writer shares about his story and going through a time of not attending Sunday services.

Why didn't I go to church? The reason was simple: I didn't want to. So, one day I decided I would go. Because church is not about me. It is not about what I like, what I want to sing, what I wish I could hear and how short I wish the service was.

This is an example of what Church is about, Sunday services are not about ourselves they are about serving others like the big guy did.
