Leader: A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders. Group: And all the believers met together constantly and shared everything they had. They sold their possessions and shared the proceeds with those in need. Leader: 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—all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people.
