FELLOWSHIP HOUR

On the 2nd and 4th Sundays, individuals may bring food or drinks as they are able. They can be home-made, or store bought. Sweets, savory, healthy, anything is welcome. There is no obligation, just a way to share with each other if you are able. If you forget or are not able to, it is fine.

But you don’t have to bring each time. We have divided the Sundays by last names.

2nd Sunday = A-P

4th Sunday = Q-Z

Please note some changes for December. December it will be the second Sunday, Dec. 10. (A-P) and fifth Sunday, Dec 31 (Q-Z)

Question of the Week: How do I share my gifts? What talent have I been told I have but am afraid to share out in the open?
