A full week of continuing education was capped by an equally amazing weekend!

After successfully returning home to Greensboro, I enjoyed reconnecting with my family, particularly as I eased my way into Sunday morning - what a different rhythm, indeed! Snuggling on the couch is how I spent my Sunday morning - what did you do with your Sunday morning?

Arriving at the church building on Sunday afternoon to prepare for our first "the 5th" worship experience, I didn't know what to expect, but continued to pray that the Holy Spirit would be at work in the church and whomever wanted to join me that evening. FIFTY-ONE people found their way to the Fellowship Hall with their potluck dishes in-hand to share in a holy meal and worship together, all while reflecting on the Sabbath. Thank you to all who attended; those who did not, you were missed! The next time we do it is April 30th, so please mark your calendars and plan to gather again in that way - and if you're not comfortable driving at night, do not worry! We have many who are excited to give you a ride to have the whole Fellowship Family together.

This Sunday is the first Sunday of the month - celebrating communion during worship and the Mission Ministry Team-sponsored food drive to benefit Greensboro Urban Ministry on the front drive. But the Mission Ministry Team is also offering a hands-on activity of service after worship during the education hour: learn how to crochet with Joy and Barbara so more can make hats for those who may need them at Greensboro Urban Ministry, the Interactive Resource Center, and Center City Park - with this weekend's forecasted dip in temperatures, now is the time to learn something new, enjoy time together, and help those in need. I'm excited and hope you are as well.

I pray that this week has been one of holy and unexpected rhythms, allowing you to find time for God and grace for yourself and others. I pray to see you on Sunday at worship, whether in-person or online!
With grace and gratitude,
Pastor Kathryn

FPC SUPPORTING BACKPACK BEGINNINGS
Fellowship has started an ongoing partnership between Backpack Beginnings, Greensboro Housing Authority, and The Applewood Community. If you would like to volunteer for this opportunity, please contact Jeannine Bailer (336.856.1609) or email her.
Wondering what to do with all of those grocery shopping bags? The Missions committee will be collecting “gently used” plastic grocery bags for Backpack Beginnings. Please bring any you don’t use to church with you, leaving them on the Missions table in the Dogwood Lobby closest to the double doors leading towards the classrooms.
Prayer Concerns and Celebrations

  • Lyn Hart was prepared to be discharged from Camden Place to home on Monday. However, she has since contracted COVID and must remain at Camden Place for at least the 5 days of isolation the CDC still recommends. Daughter, Liz, reports that her symptoms have only been like that of a mild cold so far and pray that is continues on in that way. So, Liz notes that she will most likely stay for an additional 5 days after isolation to continue physical therapy to gain more strength back.
  • Ralph Barnes had surgery Wednesday, 2/1 for a bile duct obstruction. The surgeon was able to get the two stents in during the procedure, which was a desired outcome. He will most likely stay in the hospital for a couple more days as he recovers. Please pray for Ralph, the medical team, and Sandra.
  • Nancy Baughman has COVID and remains in isolation at her apartment at Harmony House. She reports she is in good spirits as her symptoms are relatively mild, thanks to the vaccinations she has had.
  • Yanique requests prayers for her neighbor Ronnie and his family as his twin brother, Donnie passed away on Sunday. We have previously prayed for Ronnie as his cancer progressed beyond further medical treatment.
  • Please pray for the family of Monique Dixon (Yanique’s high school friend) and her sister Melody during a difficult time since their mother passed away 12/31.
