Our goal in reading, studying, and discussing the Book of Acts together is not to mimic or duplicate the earliest Christians as though they represent the ‘ideal church.’ Yet, there are a few essential practices exhibited in Acts that we invite you to continue in, begin afresh, or perhaps, try for the first time this summer. Sabbath: Learning to trust God. Hospitality: Both extending and receiving it! Prayer: Praying for others to know and love Jesus.
