I say outside of Sunday b/c i don't really consider sunday morn church service a social fellowship function, well at least not for me. I'm talking about a womens/mens group, cell groups, specific bible studies etc.
 
I fellowship here at CF as much as I can. Not as much as I have before, but often. On-line fellowship is pretty sweet for those of us who live in the middle of nowhere.

I think it's important to have some kind of Christian fellowship outside of Sunday morning, which as you say isn't really a social fellowship time (although we always fellowship after church).
 
I have a (few) friends the Lord has given me who truly know Him deeply. Last week my elderly lady friend went with me to lunch and a walk on the beach. We talked about the Lord and things having to do with end-times, it was a great time of fellowship and friendship. We also gather around the word as a family and share different things the Lord is doing in our lives and saying to us in His word. It's always different.

On average I get true fellowship a couple or three times a week, either face to face or on the phone. There is no traditional organized church setting in my life.
 
We have different fellowships throughout the week, but Wed. night is the biggest, as it is with most churches.
 
I get together with friends sometimes during the week for Bible study and prayer. :)
 
I seem to have church where ever I go, daily, along with regular church. I have a beautiful tool that I use to minister where the Lord leads me. I keep these little blood red glass beads with me all the time, and usually I wait on the Lord. But there's been times when the Lord will lead me to someone with a broken heart/spirit, or someone who is ill. I usually go up and say: forgive me of my intrusion, but the Lord has led me to place this in your hand, and let you know and to remember, it just takes one drop of our Saviors precious blood to cover the situation and make it better with prayer. Keep it in your pocket to remind you when things get hard.

I've been bless by our Lord to have some of the most awesome experiences by this ministering tool. And always with hugs/tears/encouraging words from HIS Word, and the next thing you know church and worship, and by-standers joining in.

And I'm thankful that when my spiritual grandchildren bought me a scarlet blood red betta, I went to the store and bought the red glass mini beads for its bowl, I immediately said they remind me of the blood Christ shed. And ever since then they make it possible for church and worship where ever I go.
 
Caroline, what a wonderful testimony! What a blessing.

Like Dora, I am in the middle of nowhere, but we do have family Bible study daily.

Every single day atleast once!! :yes
 
I too find that is beneficial, and dare i say imperetive to have christian fellowship outside of church. I actually miss it and crave it if i don't have it.
 
Unfortunately I don't get the fellowship of even church. Due to this neruomuscular disease it is almost impossible for me to leave the house more then once in a great while, it takes too much out of me and is too hard to recover. I wouldn't be able to sit through a service anyway. Any one I knew from church or called a friend stopped talking to me when I became sick. I do spend time with God daily though.

I'm sorry to hear that Timothy. If I lived near you I'd make sure you'd get some company. God bless you.
Have you loked into natural remedies, such as natural anti-inflammatories, essential oils etc?
 
I have a neruomuscular disease, Muscular dystrophy is a Neruomuscular disease, not what I have but closest thing to it that makes it easy to explain. Mine comes with bonuses though, After walking even 2 feet I feel exhausted. I have mitochondrial myopothy. my cells cannot produce the energy they need to function. Because of this being a cellular genetic disesae without treatment or cure there's not much they can do. My cells can't product the energy they need to even walk across the room. Aside from that my muscles are degrading and my nerves in my legs are dieing. so no real herbal remedies that will fix it, the most I can hope for with anything is to stop the progression of the disease as it is a degenerative disease. There's a few supplements that may help things a little but nothing will really fix it all I can hope is it doesn't continue to progress at the rate it has.

Did others in your family have it? When(age) did yours come on? I do hope you are surrounded by good friends, neighbors, and family!

Praying for you Tim.
