    About this ebook

    Along with other institutions, the Church took a devastating hit from the Covid Virus pandemic. Millions of people on earth were inhibited from living freely in close connection with their fellow man, refraining from social activity including church attendance. Sadly, numerous individuals have continued to neglect the physical gathering of the church and are being deprived of the strength and encouragement available through their local church. Within these pages you will find a call back to church in obedience to Hebrews 10:25, motivating individuals by clearly showing the importance of regular church attendance.
