A Reason To Get Together

The best part of a lectureship is seeing people from year to year. Spiritual nourishment aside, catching up and keeping up with friends is both the cake and the frosting. The lectures and classes are simply the tupperware container.
You can’t convince people to take a week of vacation, take a few days off and drive somewhere to catch up and keep up without the pretext of lectures and classes.
I’m convinced this is why Sunday evening services held on as long as it has. No one, from the preacher on down, wants to come back and hear another sermon and go through a scaled down version of AM services. They do want to see each other.

Strange.
