Ministry of Fellowship

The Fellowship Ministry provides social events, responds to the needs of members resulting from sickness, deaths or other emergency situations and assists persons with special needs.  Fellowship activities are an important part of our congregational life.  These events bring members and friends together for fun activities.  We get to know one another better and this helps us live out our life together as brothers and sisters in Christ.

Fun at the Cookout

• Sunday coffee.  Each Sunday after the 10:30 service, coffee, tea, cocoa and light snacks are provided in the fellowship hall.  These gatherings often celebrate special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries or welcoming new members.
• Lunch Bunch.  This informal group gathers once a month for lunch at local restaurants, trips to museums, wineries and other fun places.  Check the calendar for the current schedule.
• Bunko is a great game for all ages, and we play in the fellowship hall twice a year.
• Fellowship events are generally scheduled on the second Friday of each month. Often we host events on “Special Sundays” in the afternoon.  Check the calendar page for details.
