The first church, together
at
the beginning,
starting
in Jerusalem,
one
body, one journey in Christ
A
single life together, sharing
in
study, in worship;
Eating
the common meal together
sharing
the prayers of the believers
They
pooled their resources
so
that none would know want;
Selling
what they owned
worshiping
together in love
Focused
on our Savior
the
disciples gathered together
doing
the Master’s work;
Serving
as they were called
out
in the world
