Acts 2:41-42
[41] Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. [42] And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

It is my belief that together with verse 41, we see in these verses an enumeration of what we commonly think of as "the means of grace." Baptism, the preaching of the word (apostles' doctrine), fellowship, breaking of bread (communion), and prayer.
