The Fellowship Ministry Team set up monthly activities for the congregation to participate in. Some Highlights of 2015: On Sunday, January 4^th, we celebrated Epiphany with a pot luck luncheon. On February 15th, we celebrated Sweet and Treats with a Valentine theme. In March, we tried to have a game night but the weather won out.                                                             On April 5^th, we handed out jelly beans with the jelly bean prayer to the children at Easter. May 17th was our church picnic. Members brought a dish to pass, while the team provided hamburgers, hot dogs, drinks and ice cream sundaes. This date worked so much better because it was the last day of Sunday school. On August 16^th, some of the congregation headed out to the Red Wings Stadium for our annual afternoon of baseball.  On September 13^th, our team sponsored a coffee hour. During this time, we talked about what was happening the rest of the year for the Fellowship Ministry Team. In October, invitations were sent to all of the congregation who have been members for 50 or more years.   We had two new members: Sharon Marr and Ellie Giles. A wonderful example and affirmation of faith for us all. Each new member received a beautiful corsage. We also gave a corsage to Pat Nash for being the longest-term Western Horizon member. We then had a pot luck luncheon in their honor with cake. November 21^st was our annual game night. This year euchre, Banana-Grams, and a new game, “5 Crowns” were played. On November 28^th, we decorated the Mary Griffin Room and Fellowship. On December 13^th, we hosted the coffee hour and a cookie exchange. We had a great time trading cookies. We on the Fellowship Ministry Team wish to thank all of you who participated and helped make possible the aforementioned activities. We have received positive feedback from the participants and as always welcome any new ideas or suggestions. It has been our hope and goal to strengthen the bonds of our congregation, through the fellowship provided by group activities. In this age of impersonal electronic communication, this type of person to person contact within our church family becomes even more critical in achieving a positive spiritual outcome. We hope many more of you will join us in faith, unity, and growing fellowship in 2016. Yours in Fellowship, Deb Trombino Roxie Kachel Co-Chairs
