Our church is currently studying Keith Drury’s “There’s No I In Church.” We often here about the personal spiritual disciplines, but what about the corporate spiritual disciplines? This past week, we looked at the idea of koinonia. I had first heard the work used in conjunction with an 80′s Christian jazz quintet. Koinonia is often referred to as fellowship, but it’s so much more than that. Acts 2:42-47 tells us how a small group of believers formed into a community.

42 All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer. 43 A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders. 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. 46 They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity—47 all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.
This morning we put some koinonia into practice. We had a breakfast for our men and women and had a wonderful time of fellowship. The most spiritual thing we did was to pray for breakfast. We had about 20 show up beginning at 8:15 and breaking up around 9:35. We had a great time and I wanted to share some pictures of our time together.
Thanks to Joe for cooking. And thanks to everyone else because we had such a good time.
