Only let us hold true to what we have
attained. 17 Brothers, join in imitating me,
and keep your eyes on those who walk
according to the example you have in us.

you have heard from me, in the faith and

We Have A Pattern for
“congregational” Fellowship
Romans 12:4-5

We Have A Pattern for
“congregational” Fellowship
1 Corinthians 10:16-17
The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a
participation in the blood of Christ? The bread

we who are many are one body, for we all
partake of the one bread.
NOT denominational or
individual, but a family, a body!
