The First Church

Acts 2:42-47


The new believers studied with the disciples.  They learned many things about God and God’s plans.  
They prayer together.
They sang songs and praised God.

Song:  Read your Bible


If you read your Bible and pray everyday you will: grow, grow, grow
Pray everyday, Pray everyday.
Read your bible and pray everyday
and you'll grow, grow, grow!


But if you neglect your Bible and forget to pray you will : shrink, shrink, shrink
So we will read our Bible and pray every day so we grow, grow, grow. 

Read your Bible and pray everyday

Don't read your Bible and forget to pray.
Forget to pray. Forget to pray.
Don't read your Bible and forget to pray.
And you'll shrink, shrink, shrink!
