Don't feel guilty about missing church service today. A "Church" is building or structure (used to worship). Today, the word has also come to mean a group of followers. We are the Church. We don't need a building or even a tent to worship in, nor do we have to wait for a specific day or time to give thanks, give praise, or apologize for our sins. We can do that anywhere, any time.
Just as soldiers on the battlefield, sailors at sea, or pioneers in distant, untamed lands found times to worship without a fancy, air conditioned building, so too can we give proper praise and thanks at home, work, or in nature.
We do need other Christians--none of us is going to get it all correct, all the time. By joining with other Christians and learning together, we can understand the Bible better. We can join a group of fellow Christians online or in person. Our family can be our church.
Remember that filling pews is not as important as making prayers.
