Acts 2:42 - "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." As we listened to the stories of the early church from Acts just a few weeks ago, I wondered what it was like live Acts 2:42 in each day. Relating with each other in the community of believers is so important. Thank you for being intentional to take time each month and work on forming strong relationships with other Christians in order to live together in the life of discipleship. Keep growing, keep studing, and keep building each other up in our most holy faith.		In this issue: Digging Deeper Fab 5 Questions Group Building Activity Service Opportunities
