sharing life

Good morning friends,
Under the Holy Spirit's power, Peter told the story of Jesus and many people responded. Now we hear about life together among the disciples. There's a depth of community that is hard to imagine. The church shares prayer, meals, possessions and life together. It is a beautiful and challenging image for us. How would you like to deepen our community life now?

God bless,
Sam

Acts 2:42-47

42They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.

43Awe came upon everyone, because many wonders and signs were being done by the apostles. 44All who believed were together and had all things in common; 45they would sell their possessions and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, 47praising God and having the goodwill of all the people. And day by day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.
