DEVOTED TO FELLOWSHIP

“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.”  (Acts 2:42 NIV)

I grew up in the kind of church where "fellowship" tended to mean red punch and cookies in the church basement. But fellowship -- or the biblical "koinonia" -- is a much richer word than that. What it really means is being deeply enough connected with people that they can help shed light on my life so that I can see who I really am and where I need to change.
