Friendship and Fellowship

Tonight, my church had its annual corn roast. For a number of years, one of the families has been inviting over the whole church for a pot-luck corn roast the last week of August. Lots of fresh picked corn boiling in a huge cauldron, great food and even better desserts! But the best part is always the people. It's always a great time of fellowship. It's an opportunity to spend some concentrated time with each other, as well as a time to get to know some new folks. Fellowship is vitally important in the life of a church. It requires people to be open and willing to get to know each other. It requires some folks to lead the way in initiating fellowship activities. And even if you don't have a cauldron and a camp fire, you can still find creative ways to be involved with each other!
