Fellowship<br />

Fellowship of Kindred Minds<br />
READ: Philippians 2:1-11<br />
KEY VERSES: If you have any encouragement from being united with<br />
Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any common sharing in the Spirit,<br />
if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being<br />
like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. -<br />
Philippians 2:1-2 (NIV)<br />
Descendants of my grandfather and his five siblings gather from far and<br />
near the first weekend in August to share our history, pray, laugh and eat.<br />
We welcome new members, mourn those who have passed since the last<br />
gathering, and celebrate accomplishments of all kinds. We are family – built<br />
on a solid foundation of faith in Jesus Christ and love, caring and commitment<br />
to each other. We promise to stay in close touch and keep each other in<br />
prayer. Then we part in love and peace.<br />
That’s how fellowship among Christians should be. We should share each<br />
other’s burdens and joys, encourage and strengthen one another, and<br />
do God’s work in the community and the church. Giving of yourself will<br />
come back to you as acceptance, love and friendship you can depend on.<br />
Fellowship is essential for a closer walk with the Savior. –Rita Womack<br />
LOOKING WITHIN: Am I in fellowship with members of a church? How can I<br />
improve that fellowship?<br />
Lord, help me overcome whatever is holding me back from being an active<br />
member of a church. This is my prayer in Jesus’ name. Amen.<br />
