Worship at 10. Brunch at 11:30. Kids table trick or treating 11:15. All welcome!

Good Morning Fellowshipping, Serving, Worshipers! It's a day for celebrating, feasting (on the Word and food!), and fellowshipping. It's a day to serve God and others. It's a day to study and grow in God's Word and to be doers of it! How awesome is our God to allow us to do these Brunch Sundays! PTL!

Whenever we have these brunch Sundays I always think of the Church in Acts 2:42. It was the very first gathering of believers after Jesus ascended to heaven. They were trying to figure out what to do to carry on the mission and commission from Jesus to go make disciples. They recently received the Holy Spirit as an indwelling seal and helper and were adjusting to life in Christ and to allowing the Holy Spirit to guide and correct. They were beginning to understand all Jesus taught and all the Bible revealed about the Father, Son and Spirit and God's plans. Acts 2:42 says, "All the believers devoted themselves to the apostle's teaching, and to fellowship, and to the sharing of meals (including the Lord's Supper), and to prayer." We get to do this today! PTL! The first gathering of believers were a giving and blessing people as well. They co-labored and helped each other and those in need. We get to do that as well today and have the opportunity to connect to those outside our fellowship, bless them, love them and show them God's love! How cool! Pray for those God is sending and for those He desires to connect you to to show His love. Pray many would be drawn to God and added to our fellowship as we live and love like the earliest Church and like Jesus.

Here's the rest of Acts 2 to meditate and pray into. What's going on in this passage? What's God saying to you? What's some specific, measurable way you will respond? Who will you process this with?

Have a great day of LOVE: worshiping and serving and fellowshipping today!

Acts 2:42-47,

The Believers Form a Community

42 All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer.

43 A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders. 44 And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. 45 They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. 46 They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity— 47 all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.
