Good morning, everyone. I was planning on doing this tonight in our Prayer Meeting time to help us prepare for our Sacred Assembly on Sunday, but since we are not meeting tonight, I am asking you to help me through e-mail. I know that this will not allow for anonymity, but I promise that if you respond to this, I will be the only one who sees it and will not pay attention to who writes what. Following is a list of corporate sins found in the Bible and in many churches. Would you read through the list and tell me which of these you believe our church is guilty of as a whole. I know that you could probably select every one of these and be accurate, but would you pray and ask God to show you those that we as a church need to focus on in repentance. It is a long list. You can select as many as you would like. Just comment anonymously with your list.
