This document discusses the formation of the first church in 5 weekly lessons. Week 4 focuses on how the first church was "Together" in several ways: they shared possessions and broke bread together in fellowship; they devoted themselves to learning from the apostles' teaching and taking communion; they spent time together in worship, prayer, and praising God; and they evangelized daily which led to more people being saved.
