Christ's Fellowship


Tis with an apostrophe between the sweet and bitter that yesterday, mark it, December 11th nearer to the 11 o'clock hour, due to the scattered finding the way, that the first meeting of the Christ's Church, with the apostrophe, met in the double garage of Russell and Christina's home off County Line Road.
Shall I tell of the order and the way? Russell stood to the front and gave introductory comments, then we had corporate prayer, that is, we opened it for any who wanted to pray, to pray. After that, we read from Psalm 133-135 from the ESV. It was about that time Nathaniel was not content in his little yellow seat and began voicing that discontent loudly. Melanie took him to a blanket by the roll up doors and orderly quietness was somewhat restored.
It was then we took an offering in the nice pine needle offering baskets by Ben Taylor and Cody Hamilton serving as ushers.
Following, we had prayer again and Russell expounded from Acts 2:42-47. The four points covered were: Apostles doctrine, fellowship, breaking of bread and prayers.
Following the sermon we closed in prayer and adjourned to the kitchen for a fellowship meal. Following that, some stayed in the house and talked while others gathered in the garage to sing. This flowed for the best part of the day into the evening. It was a good time spent meeting one another needs, with time to linger and not hurry apart to our isolation's.
We determined one had a need for new brakes so today several of the men are working on that need. Thus, the fellowship, the doing of good continues.
The women shall meet this Wednesday for fellowship, the men next Wednesday.
