4. When I Pray
…and to prayer.
5. When I See God Doing Awesome and Great Things
43 A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders.
6. When I Give and Serve
… 44 And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. 45 They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need.
7. When I Worship
… 46 They worshiped together at the Temple each day,…
8. When I Do Life Together With Others.
…met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity—
