—Acts 16:11-15

This event occurred just after the Macedonian call that Paul and his companions received. This was their first stop after arriving in Macedonia. What did they do? On Sabbath, they found some Sabbath worshippers meeting down by the riverside and joined them. In those days, ten, adult, Jewish men that were required to form a synagogue. That it was women down by the riverside indicates there were likely not enough men to form a synagogue. But this did not stop them from worshipping on the Sabbath. This Sabbath was made more special by the fact that they heard the Good News about Jesus and responded in belief.
