Together

The early church had to come together and rely on one another for their survival.  They were a persecuted group mostly of outcasts.  They needed to come together.  The same was true of the early Brethren.  Amidst a culture of war over religion, the Brethren’s view of peace and simplicity put them at odds with the ruling religious and political leaders.  They came together to live and work and challenge each other spiritually.  During the month of December and into January our Youth will be talking about how we work at growing together.  The Holy Spirit has blessed each of us with gifts and talents to use for his glory.  When we use these gifts together we see the Body of Christ more fully realized.
