MINISTRY/SERVICE AND FELLOWSHIP
Fellowship in the church is the nurturing of relationships within the congregation of the community, as well as the exploration and deepening of each person's relationship with Christ.
The Fellowship Ministry Team will meet the 2nd Monday of each month with elder Billy Edmondson overseeing. We would love to have you attend.

2. Helping Hands--provide help for minor home maintenance/repair for church family who are unable physically, skill-wise pr financially to complete the task.
3. Prayer Teams--provide prayer support to the congregation in multiple ways, yet to be determined, but probably including prayer chain, prayer groups, Sunday a.m.
4. Bereavement--provide support to bereaved church families, including the services traditionally provided by the 'tray committee', but broader in scope.
5. Visitation of Members--provide an organized effort to visit families of the congregation who need or request it because of sickness, bereavement or other crisis.
6. Widow's/Widower's Lunch--provide a time of fellowship and socialization over a meal with and among the widows and widowers of the congregation.
