What do you think about when you hear the term “fellowship”? Maybe you are like me, and the first things to come to mind are ice cream socials, potlucks, and holiday parties. Maybe you automatically think of those social gatherings that we do outside of the regularly scheduled worship services and Bible classes. But is fellowship just a social event, or is it something more than that?

Acts 2:42 (ESV)

And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.
