I hope you've enjoyed this beautiful weekend and found a moment to give thanks for the courage of our armed forces. The cost of war is staggering and we all have a duty to those who have served. Our reading today shows the depth of community shared in the early church. As God brought people to faith, God also knit them together into a new family, committed to God and to each other. It's important to remember this vision when we think about strengthening the community we share today.
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.
