Rev. Karen E. Gale preaching
"In the Beginning: Early Church Life"
Acts 2:42-47
What were things like in the beginning? Once Jesus was resurrected people who believed in his teachings for their own life had to figure out what to do next. First steps did not include building a church building. They did not include appointing committees.
Those first Christians began by gathering and eating together, praying together and reaffirming what it meant to follow Christ in their daily lives. They took care of one another. They usually met at night because everyone worked during the day and meeting at night was also safer.
Church is still done this way in many, many places across the world and in the US. House churches start up when two or three gather and want a regular reminder of what it means to follow Jesus as a community. What might we learn from them?
Thank you to all who joined us for Scout Sunday.
We are happy to continue our relationship with Troop 22 as we have for the last 105+ years.
