Koinonia

Koinonia is not a word that most of us would use every day. There's good reason for that. The word is Greek, not a language most of us use very often. It first appears in the New Testament in the book of Acts to describe the fellowship of Christians, the way they gathered together, took care of each other, loved each other, shared what they had as brothers and sisters in Christ. Its a word that says a lot about relationship and community, authentic community. 

This coming week, the Fruitland CRC, with assistance from neigbouring congregations, will be hosting a Special Needs SERVE. Young people from across the country will be coming to Fruitland to share the love of Christ by being his hands and feet in the community around us.  Participants and mentors  will work together, play together, laugh together and cry together. They will become a community together, a community that worships God together, and also supports each other in very intimate and special ways. 

Sunday morning we will look at how Jesus begins to form this sort of authentic community, the people he calls into it and the bond that hold it together. 

Come and join us as we celebrate the beginning of a week of SERVE and as we grow deeper as an authentic community.
