English Rose,

You are member of the body and the Church should visit, comfort, pray, and exhort you. Many churches (individuals) are lacking in this ministry—however many are very good at it, visiting nursing homes and such in addition to their regular membership. There is still a remnant.

I wish we lived near you and your family so my wife and I could visit. Perhaps in a way God is supplying this forum to you so may be visited by “the Church” (believing posters) in “word” (our posts) because very few of us can make it to England?

Reformed and Always Reforming,
