I am still buzzing from our Christmas services. Our staff took Tuesday through Friday off so I haven’t seen the guest cards yet but here are a couple of numbers to thank God for. Remember, numbers are indicators of life change and God’s working.
We had a record high of 1174 people attend our four services! Wow! This topped our previous record of just over 700. Think about it…God used Fellowship to send the message of hope to almost 1200 people!
To date we have received $31,219 towards our Christmas missions offering. So far we have been able to invest in orphanages and feeding centers in Russia and Moldova. This year we also were able to help kids in the city of Camden. We have also been able to help a church planter in our area and numerous local families in need. What is incredible to me is that this number doesn’t even include the many gifts and gift cards that our life groups gave to families they “adopted” for the Christmas season. God blesses us to be a blessing and it is an awesome thing to see God using Fellowship to step in and help so many. I will keep you updated as we finish out our last week of giving. Remember, it’s never too late to be a part of this Christmas offering.
I heard 2 full rehearsals and 4 different services and I find myself a little sad that I won’t get to hear our Christmas music again…Hats off to Jeff and our vocal team, band, drama team, stage and lighting team, and tech and video team! You took it to a whole new level. A special thanks to our ushers, hospitality team, guest services and our kids workers…you made things go off without a hitch!

Really good news here,John! I am thinking of the lives that are going to be changed because of coming to Fellowship in 2008! THAT is the most important thing!
You`ve got a class act going on here!
I am just sooooooo excited to be a part of that!
The Christmas services were nothing short of amazing! The worship team did an awesome job. Yesterday Ryan ended 2007 with an inspiring message that everybody I talked to were blessed by. We are blessed to have such a great staff at Fellowship. Thanks to all of you for yielding to Gods will for your lives. To be a part of reaching our community via Fellowship in 2008 is exciting. I cant wait to see what God is going to do!

The thing I like so much about this church is that everyone is so NORMAL! Normal people, with normal problems, who admit to being helpless without the Holy Spirit directing their lives. Thank you. The name of the church is so fitting because this is a real fellowship.
