This timely and engaging book by Tony Merida explores what church is, why being part of it is exciting, and why it’s worthy of our love and commitment. He sets out eight privileges and responsibilities of a church member: to belong, to welcome, to gather, to care, to serve, to honor, to witness and to send. Whether you're new to your local church or have been attending for some time, this book will re-energize you with God’s vision for the local church. A discussion guide at the end of book makes a great resource for reading with other church members.
