This Really Happened!

On Sunday, March 25, 1979 a family placed member-

ship at one of the churches of Christ in Arkansas. This

isn’t significant news at all. In fact, we probably visual-

ize three or four people walking down the aisle at the

singing of the invitation song, sitting down on the front

row, putting their names on a card, then checking the

little box in front of “To Place Membership.” They may

have done that, but the significant thing is that they did

more than that. They handed the elders — no, not a

letter of recommendation, but their own letter. It read:

“We are asking to commit the welfare of our souls to

your care. Although the weakness of the flesh often

betrays us, the prime objective of our lives is obtaining

salvation for ourselves, our children, and our fellow

man. We therefore ask with all sincerity that you help

us in every way possible to be successful in this en-

deavor. Besides spiritual food, encouragement, and

fellowship, we fully expect that the help you give might

well take the form of numerous requests to serve, in-

struct, correct, and if necessary, even discipline.

With this in mind, we ask that when and if either of us

responds in a negative fashion to a request or fails to

measure up in a given task that you not write us off but

help us grow and as soon as possible try us again. We

view membership in this congregation as an obligation

to be subject to its eldership, to be helpful and encour-

aging to all its members, and to take an active part in

its work. We, therefore, state our intentions to give

freely of our time, our talents, and our money in order

to fulfill that obligation.”

This really happened! And it should still be happening

throughout our brotherhood today!
