DESCRIPTION
The fellowship of the cross is the most important fellowship in the world. Not even the government assemblies in Washington are more important than the local assembly of faithful disciples when engaged correctly and sincerely. The local church of Christ is to be considered a communion, a fellwoship, a partnership, that is crucial to the saving of souls. No other organization is more important.
