FELLOWSHIP
FELLOWSHIP
AND COFFEE HOUR
The
Fellowship and Coffee Hour is a time after each Sunday worship
service to get to know one another. Coffee is served along
with along with a simple treat such as cookies, pastries, or
cake. At this informal setting, it's a great time for
meeting and greeting new and old friends.
SUNDAY
BRUNCHES
Our
intergenerational brunch has become a tradition and a
significant part of our fellowship. We have a core of families
and individuals who have prepared this light meal for all of
us to enjoy. Meals are served in the Fellowship Hall, usually
the first Sunday of the month, just after the church service.
You don’t have to be a gourmet cook to host a brunch. We
serve the meal buffet style so soups, chowders, pancake bakes,
one-dish egg recipes, hearty coffee cake, muffins, bagels,
fruit salads, or one dish casseroles are good ideas.
Anyone
wishing to prepare and serve a brunch can even
partner
up with someone else to share the fun and satisfaction of
feeding the flock. You
supply a little time, your home grown skill, a little love,
and your brunch provides a warm atmosphere where the spirit of
Christ flourishes among us.
JOYFUL NOISE CAFÉ
The
Joyful Noise Café is an evening of family fun, food and
fellowship that is held in the church's Fellowship Hall
several times a year. The night of the event, the folks at the
church team up to provide an optional low cost substantial
meal. After a prayer and the breaking of bread, the
entertainment portion of the evening gets under way. While
many of the people who share their gifts could pass for
professionals, most are talented people from in and around the
area. We have had everything, including: retired pastors
performing standup routines, youngsters performing short skits
they wrote, a women’s barbershop quartet, soloists playing
guitar or piano and singing, a father/daughter duet, two young
brothers performing the blues, and people doing readings. One
recurring act is a group we call The Joyful Noise Boys,
performing everything from old time Gospel Bluegrass to their
own arrangements of standard hymns. The night ends with
everyone standing together to sing Let There Be Peace On
Earth. Every one of these events is different from the next,
but you can always expect to leave fulfilled. Whether you are
looking for an evening of wholesome entertainment and an
inexpensive meal, or just a coffee and dessert, the Joyful
Noise Café is an evening not to be missed.
