I agree. Such fellowship is vital to our continued wellbeing.

You can't get fellowship with other believers from a Sunday service? What in the world kind of church are you going to? Every church I've ever known had fellowship with other believers on Sunday morning.

Is that all you saw?

For someone with 'pastor' in your name, you appear rather lacking in compassion.

Good luck with that.

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to say that the fellowship that is available during a Sunday service is limited. The churches that I've been a part of in the past, and my current church, are rather large. Certainly believers talk to each other before and after the service. Is this fellowship? The Bible describes fellowship in terms of stirring one another to love and good works, and encouraging one another (Hebrews 10:24-25). Especially in larger churches, this is the sort of thing that typically happens in a small group setting rather than during a worship service.

Oh, another entire thread up for the rule violation awards. Joy unspeakable.

1.) Christians are NOT to start threads of any kind on the questions by NON-Christians board.

2.) Christians are NOT to respond to each other on these threads. Respond to the OP ONLY.

Commanders of the heavenly hosts, we who are unworthy beseech you, by your prayers encompass us beneath the wings of your immaterial glory, and faithfully preserve us who fall down and cry to you: “Deliver us from all harm, for you are the commanders of the powers on high!”

Holy Archangel Michael, pray to God for me.

I attend Mass faithfully every Sunday.

No, that isn't all I saw. I saw your comments, which I assume mean that you have some sort of a disability. I sympathize with you, but if only you had asked me to clarify what I meant, rather than assume I was attacking you, you would know, as does everybody else who read my post, that I'm talking about people who are able to attend church, but refuse to, not those who do want to, but can't attend for whatever reason, such as illness.
