Welcome!

We at Fellowship Church pursue our vision to be a Transformational Missionary Community – A body
of believers that is God-led and Holy Spirit-empowered in loving and serving others.

When we take our place in God's story, we find the meaning and significance we crave. We discover who we are and what our lives are all about. We learn just what an adventure life can be when the Master Storyteller (God) is writing the script and personally coaching us to contribute our best to history (His story). In fact, we learn how to impact our world for good through the power of God's own Spirit at work in us and through us.

Fellowship Church is into being just such a place of learning, discovery and development. God is good, and the closer we come to him in relationship, the more we experience just how good life can be--not necessarily how comfortable or easy, but how meaningful and joyful life becomes as God lives in us with his Holy Spirit. As Jesus says, "Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I say these things...so that they may have the full measure of my joy in within them (John 17:3, 13b)."

Fellowship Church is learning what it means to be the family of God together; what it means to celebrate all of God's good gifts to his Church; what it means that everyone be equipped to share in God's mission of love; what it means to work in a high-need community as a way to transform people and their neighborhood; and lots more.

Like any learning and growth, ours at Fellowship Church is a process. Some of it's fun; some of it's painful; some of it's simple to master while other challenges drive us deeper in prayer to God. Often we feel like we're plunging ahead in faith, only seeing where we were going as we look behind us. At times we see miracles happen and rejoice. Other times, we see nothing and endure. But through it all, we're learning to trust the God who loves us and who has the final word in how the story starts and ends.

If you're up for a good story, please join us personally. If you're interested in learning more, please contact me. I'll be pleased to share what we're learning.

Announcements

THANKSGIVING DAY
    Make plans to join us for our
    Thanksgiving Day worship at
    10 AM on Nov. 24. We'll be
    receiving a special offering for
    East Central Ministries. A
    traditional Thanksgiving
    Dinner will follow our worship
    service.

ADVENT 2011
    Our first Sunday in the season
    of Advent is just around the
    corner on Nov. 27. This year's
    series of services is titled
    "Under the Bethlehem Star"
    and focuses on the Old
    Testament book of Ruth. The
    setting for much of Ruth is the
    town of Bethlehem--a town of
    destiny that, through what
    happens in the story of Ruth,
    becomes the birthplace of
    Jesus. Join us as we make our
    way from emptiness to
    fullness, from promise to
    fulfillment!

SIMPLE SUPPER
    Join us on Wednesday's at
    6:00pm for a great time of
    food and fellowship together
    in the church Fellowship Hall.
    All ages welcome!
