| From Pastor Roger - Community, Part 3 Community, Part 3 In Acts 2:45 and 46, the early church took their sense of community beyond what we shared in last week's newsletter "They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts…" They built their community through studying, fellowshipping, eating, and praying together (v. 42). They strengthened community by being together and having everything in common (v. 44). They maintained community by willingly gave all they had, and not just possessions (v. 45, 46). "Every day they continued to meet together…" Your church needs you. Every day, in many ways. But, you say, you don't have any talents or gifts. Can you: - push a broom or mop?
- empty a waste basket?
- pick up trash?
- wipe a counter?
- dust a shelf?
- pluck a weed?
- plant a flower?
- put inserts into a bulletin?
- type a letter?
- run a copy machine?
- help hold a child?
- tidy up a bulletin board?
- smile at a stranger?
Your church needs help with simple things all the way to more complex challenges. A couple of hours a week or a couple of days a week. On March 24, you'll have a chance to explore more thoroughly all the ways you can help your church. Be praying and thinking about your part in building and maintaining our community. "Here am I. Send me!" Isa 6:8 NIV | | What's happening SAVE THE DATES:
