  2. How did the first Christians worship? • ‘ They spent their time in learning from the apostles, taking part in the fellowship, and sharing in the fellowship meals and prayers’ Acts 2: 42 • After Jesus’ ascension into heaven the disciples re-enacted the last supper as a commemorative meal as Jesus said ‘do this in memory of me’. This is recorded in 1 Corinthians 11:23 – 29. • As Christianity grew in popularity the celebration of the Eucharist was scaled down for practical reasons, to become the simple sharing of bread and wine as it is today.
