'All Together Now' a monthly meeting for all believers

Talk to any musician and they will tell you, the most important thing for any group is that they stay “all together.”

It is that way with all organizations, and even more so for the church. We must work together. The Bible teaches that all followers of Jesus are one, and we are called the body of Christ. In Tehachapi, Christians meet in more than 20 different buildings, but there is really only one church in town. That one church includes all who are sincerely trusting in Jesus, no matter which fellowship we choose to attend.

Since January of this year, there have been monthly meetings for all Christians in Tehachapi. We meet at 6 p.m. on the last Sunday of every month at the Grace Fellowship building on Tehachapi Blvd. We call it “All Together Now.”

Each month we are led by singers from a different church, then their pastor leads us through a chapter of the Gospel of John. Afterward, we sit at round tables and discuss what we have heard. We try to dismiss the meeting by 7:30 p.m.

Each month we get a glimpse into the life of a different congregation. What has been amazing is that each month we realize that these people from other fellowships worship the same God and read the same Bible that we do. We realize that we really are “one body” … and that is exciting!

The next meeting will be 6 p.m. Sunday, July 28 at Grace Fellowship, 326 E. Tehachapi Blvd. Our speaker will be Henry Schaeffer, the Youth Pastor from Roots Fellowship in Old Town. Henry is also one of the leaders of the Together Men’s Bible Study, which meets at the First Baptist Church on Curry Street. His message will be from the Gospel of John, chapter seven.

God is doing amazing things in our little town of Tehachapi, and He is bringing His people together. Come join us July 28 and be a part of what God is doing. We especially encourage pastors to come and spend some time with other pastors from around town.
