Assemblies Gathered Unto the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ as Members of the One Body of Christ.

At the meeting for the remembrance of the Lord in His death and worship, an offering is received from those who participate as known Christians. As the sacrifice of praise and the sacrifice of giving of our substance are associated together in Heb. 13:15-16, the only collection of the assembly for its expenses, giving to servants of the Lord and His work and the needy, is, generally speaking, taken at this service. This is also in accordance with instructions as to collection for the saints upon the first day of the week given in I Cor. 16:1-2.

A service for children, commonly called "Sunday School," is held each Lord's day morning in most assemblies. Bible classes are conducted for various ages and adults usually join in this hour in a Bible class of their own. On Lord's day evening a meeting for the proclamation of the Gospel for the unsaved is held by those gifted to preach the glad tidings of salvation in Christ. Or an "open meeting" for ministry of the Word of God may be the order of service.

During the week a mid-week service is usually convened for prayer and study of the Bible. Each brother has a similar freedom for participation as was evident in the Lord's day morning service. Meetings for youth and special meetings for women may be held periodically.

As for names, these believers prefer the simple title of "Christians," "saints," "brethren," etc., which apply to all children of God. Refusing denominational names, they desire to be known simply as "Christians gathered unto the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ." James 2:7 speaks of "that worthy name by which ye are called."

A welcome is extended to anyone interested in hearing the Gospel of God's saving grace and ministry of the Word of God to attend meetings of these assemblies. The answer of the Lord Jesus Christ to perplexed and questioning souls was-"COME AND SEE" (John 1:39). R. K. Campbell
