This past Sunday we read Acts 2:42-47 and discovered what life as a follower of Jesus was like in the very early days of the church. The first followers of Jesus devoted themselves to the apostles teaching and to fellowship, the breaking of bread and to prayer. They also shared everything that they had in common.
Our homework this week was to share a need(s) that you or your family may have. If you were not at the worship services on Sunday, you can share a need your family has by emailing me (dteefey@rcovenant.org).
Then we want everyone to look through the list of needs and to email me (dteefey@rcovenant.org) if you believe you can help meet the need. I will then connect you and we will watch as the Spirit uses the resources of some to meet the needs of others. I will cross out the needs when someone has already agreed to meet it. Some needs will never be crossed out because they are ongoing.
