In the New Testament, the book of the Acts of the Apostles gives us a glimpse of the early church and how it came to be and how it functioned as the Body of Christ. Very early on in the life of the church we find that the people devoted themselves to the apostle’s teaching (scriptures), and to fellowship, the breaking of bread and the prayers (Acts 2:42.)
Fellowship is one of the foundations of our development as a faith community and how we come together as a congregation. As we learn to know one another and engage one another in our personal lives, so will our journey together be one in which we experience it as one united body of Christ.

The patients are selected by the social workers or activity directors of these establishments, so you won’t be required to make “cold” calls.
