New Fellowship

Fellowship: The relationships in our lives that are centered on the unity we have in Christ.

Hebrews 10:23-25(NIV) And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Together We Win

Together is God’s Plan

Hebrews 10:24(NIV) And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds

(Ecclesiastes 4:9-10) Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. 10 If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.

Together isn’t always EASY

We see the best in each other!
