That's What Koinonia Is All About

Dear Beloveds,

I am looking forward to sharing a very special day with our entire church and our community!

This Sunday marks our annual Fall Kickoff celebration! We have a wonderful team that is putting together a very special day for all of us. I hope you can join us for a burger and enjoy a time of fellowship after church. We will be spending time in the glorious outdoors (there will be shady spots around!), so be sure to bring your sunglasses, hat, and sunscreen!

I know some of your are gearing up to win our watermelon eating contest, and others are firing up their ovens to bring out some beautiful cakes and cookies to share with everyone.

This is actually an important day for the church, because we are carrying out a very real calling for what it means to be a believer and therefore, part of a believing community.

As believers, we are called into “koinonia”- the Greek word that describes living fellowship with other believers. It is through this fellowship that our faith is strengthened and we can build up loving relationships with those in our church community.

Fellowship not only builds each of us up, but it also strengthens the church — and the whole of God’s children! Fellowship gives us the opportunity to encourage one another, lift one another up, and support each other in friendship and love.

So when you join us this Sunday, you can remember that you are answering a holy calling to fellowship-enjoying one another’s company, catching up with old friends, and hopefully making one or two new ones! You can also help us welcome those who have made the decision to join our church on Sunday!

Hope to see you there!

P.S. Don't forget to bring $10 for an In and Out Meal!

With great love for you,

Pastor Grace
