Acts 2:40-46
And with many other words Peter testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation.” Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need. So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.
The original disciples didn't just see each other during church services. They lived life together, ate together, shared their possessions, visited each other's homes. Many Christians nowadays attend service just to listen to the sermon, then leave right afterwards without ever getting acquainted with others in their local church. We encourage you to build community and connect with other believers within the ministry by engaging in intimate fellowship, meaningful dialogue and fun extracurricular activities outside of normal service hours -- either virtually or in person.
