“How can these things be strengthening for the church if only a few people are there? It is ridiculous to see this any other way.”

So the whole church has to be there for it to be formal? You might need to wait for Jesus to return for this to happen. We were a bit down on numbers today 😉

Mark, every time believers meet in the name of Jesus they should be an encouragement to one another (I know you know Hebrews 10:25). At different times the Body involves itself in different activities, usually depending on the gifts that people have when they meet – essentially as the Spirit leads.
