The mission of the Fellowship Committee, recognizing
that fellowship is the by-product of a Christian community worshipping,
serving, and learning together for the purpose of improving their
lives as a community, is to bring members of the congregation
and community together to share the Gospel through formal end
informal gatherings; to bring new members into the fellowship
of the church; and to keep active members growing in their own
Christian faith through their involvement in different fellowship
activities.

The Basic Principle of Fellowship
God has created us to be dependent people -- dependent on Him and on one another. Genesis 2:18 states,
"it is not good for man to be alone." This principle speaks not only to marriage, but to all
of life, and especially to the spiritual fellowship of all believers. No man is an island;
none of us has the ability to go it alone. We need the companionship of one another. Spiritual fellowship
is an absolute necessity and not an option we can do without!
J. I. Packer, from his book, "God's Words," has an important insight about fellowship:
"We should not think of our fellowship with other Christians as a spiritual luxury, an optional addition
to the exercises of private devotion. We should recognize rather that such fellowship is a spiritual
necessity; for God has made us in such a way that our fellowship with himself is fed by our fellowship with
fellow-Christians, and requires to be so fed constantly for its own deepening and enrichment."
Life is busy, there's just never enough time in the day to accomplish all that we would like to. I
encourage you, however, to stay 15 extra minutes after services, have coffee, and meet someone new.
Offer a word of praise to someone in the choir or a hug to someone who is listed on the prayer sheet.
New friendships have to begin somewhere, why not begin within our very own church family at LCM?
God's Blessings,
