True worship may be experienced at any time; in any place--alone on the hills or in the busy daily life--we may find God, in whom we live and move and have our being. But this individal experience is not sufficient, and in a meeting held in the Spirit there is a giving and receiving between its members, one helping another with or without words. so there may come a wider vision and a deeper experience.
