When I was in school, I never enjoyed doing group projects. I didn’t like depending on other people to get work done. If I thought the project could best be done my way, I had a hard time giving up my plans for the sake of the group. As the church, we are called to the group project of advancing the kingdom of God. But just like my reluctance to do group projects in school, sometimes our personal agendas and feelings can get in the way of completing the work we are called to do. This Sunday we will be looking at the formation of the church in the book of Acts. What we see is a united group seeking to advance the gospel. A group which was even willing to sell their lands and houses to insure the needs of the community were met and the mission of the church accomplished. We will look at what we as the church may need to give up today in order to complete our group project. This Sunday is also our fourth Sunday worship service and the beginning of our new Sunday school class in the parsonage at 9:00 before the service. Hope to see you all then!
