MEN’S FELLOWSHIP

"So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you." Matthew 7:12 The Men's Fellowship is a time when the men of the church come together to help hold each other accountable to the Word of God and commit to serving the Body of Christ with its time and talents. The Men's Fellowship meet the first Sunday mornings at 8:30 AM in the Fellowship Hall and the third Thursday of the month at 8:30 AM at Cloverdale Kitchen. The group also contributes its talents by taking care of the grounds of the church by mowing and lawn care. They also do various maintenance projects within the Church’s facilities and within the community.

WOMEN’S FELLOWSHIP

Women of all ages have the chance to grow in community with other women of the church through the Women's Fellowship. Through spiritual growth, missions, prayer and fellowship, we create a place where women can be encouraged, share in Bible study and contribute to the community. The Women's Fellowship is divided into three Circles - small groups of women that meet the second Tuesday of each month.

Circle 3: 10:00 am, Church Parlor

Meetings include a variety of activities, such as trips to hospital waiting rooms, meetings held at local nursing homes, and other locations where service may be given.

Circle 4: 7:30 pm, Stelter Haus

Focus is on mission and charitable projects and support of our missionaries.

Circle 5: 5:30 pm, Stelter Haus

Meet for study and spiritual growth and then enjoy fellowship at local restaurants afterwards. Following are some specific activities Women’s Fellowship is involved: • Taking food to the sick and the bereaved • Celebrating the birthdays of residents at Salemtowne Moravian Home • Keeping in touch and supporting our missionaries • Sponsoring the Day of Prayer during Lent • Greeting visitors at Sunday morning worship • Supporting the Guest House for out of town families of hospital patients • Supporting the Mission House for visiting missionaries • Knitting prayer shawls for special persons in need of prayer • Providing cakes for the Prison Ministry • Supporting various non-profit community agencies • Visiting members in nursing homes and hospitals • Sending cards and gifts to homebound members and college students • Providing food and monetary donations to Sunnyside Ministry • Organizing congregational meals • Supporting each other in times of joy and difficulties • Cleaning and decorating graves in God’s Acre for Easter • Participating in the Candle tea • Delivering “Treasure Boxes” to Samaritan Purse and to On Wings Like a Dove Each year Women’s Fellowship plans a special event to foster Christian fellowship among members and friends. Last year’s gathering was “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” – a brunch for all women and girls of the Church. Keeping true to the theme, attendees were encouraged to wear black and white attire.

SENIOR ADULTS

Our Senior Friends group meets once a month on the third Tuesday at 11:30 am (except July and August) for fellowship, encouragement and support.
