Coming August 2021
Home Church, our small group ministry, will be kicking off in August. Home Church is a vital part of Fellowship where people gather weekly to pray, study God’s Word, and grow in relationship with God and one another. We would love for anyone who is not currently in a Home Church to consider to prioritizing, on a weekly basis, this time with fellow believers. We are finalizing the details on the new groups and who is leading them for our big reveal on July 25. However, if you want to hear about them the week before, go to fellowshipconway.org/homechurch and sign-up. You will have the first look at the groups and be able to select where you believe you will connect the best.
Men’s Book Study
Men’s Ministry will begin Thursday, July 22, 6:00 p.m. in Room 2110 (2nd floor). Discussions will center around the book “Misreading Scripture with Western Eyes: Removing Cultural Blinders to Better Understand the Bible”. All are welcome to grab a copy of the book, read the introduction, and join us for the discussion. For more information email men@fellowshipconway.org.

Thank you to all who made this week such a success and for bringing your children to be a part of it.
