The Bible’s book of Acts describes one of the first acts of the newly formed church as coming together for fellowship. At Gregory, we seek to find many opportunities to follow in that early example.
Fellowship Luncheon
Throughout the year, the Congregational Care Committee coordinates church-wide luncheons and dinners, often to raise funds for the youth Workcamp or to celebrate the joining of new members. There are also groups within the church who design fellowship opportunities for special needs or interests.
PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN
All women of the church are automatically members of the “PW.” The PW offers a few large meetings each year (organizational meetings and a “biblical retreat), but is perhaps most known for its Day and Evening “Circles” which offer Bible study, fellowship, prayer and usually some good food. The Day Circle meets on the first Tuesday of the month at 12:30 pm. The Evening Circle meets on the second Tuesday of the month at 7:30 pm.
THE WIDOWS GROUP
The Widows Group began as a support group for women who were widowed. They gather monthly for fellowship and lunch on the second Tuesday at noon at the church. We support mission activities of the church, but our main mission is, and has been for many years, Franklin Graham’s Operation Christmas Child. We furnish a dozen shoe boxes full of many things for children, ages 4 to 6 years old, in support of Operation Christmas Child..
LINE DANCING
Line Dancers
People of all ages are invited to our twice-weekly line dancing group. The music is lively and the fellowship fine! Meets Mondays in the fellowship Hall at 2:00 pm and beginning in January every other Thursday at 6:00 pm.
PRAYER
Jesus said, “Where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am also.” Our Prayer Group, which sometimes is small in number, takes those words both seriously and powerfully as they lift up issues to the Lord both small and large. Open to all. Join them the second and fourth Mondays of the month in the fellowship hall at 3:30 pm.
CONGREGATIONAL CARE
In addition to providing hospitality, the Congregational Care Committee, along with the pastor, helps to coordinate care to those members who are ill, in the hospital or who have suffered a loss. They head up a church-wide prayer chain that can be notified for prayer when there’s an emergency. Please let them know if there is a need.
