Blacknall Buddy System
Need Help with Shopping?

This strange time might create surprising friendships. To request help, contact Margaret Frothingham or Joyce Kight.

A letter from The Fellowship Gathering Board
On March 16, The Fellowship Community board members gathered on a conference call to pray and discern the best way forward regarding our National Gathering. We agreed unanimously — because your health and safety are of primary importance to us, we are postponing the 2020 National Gathering until October 20-22, 2020. We’ll still gather at Blacknall Memorial Presbyterian Church in Durham, NC, and we’ll keep our theme of “Leadership for Real Church.” We hope to maintain our same slate of speakers, as well. What does this mean for you?
If the April time slot was inconvenient for you, you have a second chance to join us! Block off October 20-22 on your calendar now, and we’ll let you know as soon as our new registration site is up and running!
If you’ve already registered, look for an email from Julie McGowen in the next few days outlining the next steps.
If you have any other questions or concerns, email us at office@fellowship.community and we’ll respond as quickly as we can.
Over the next few months, we’ll continue to pray for you — and we covet your prayers, as well. Pray that God would grant us “energy, intelligence, imagination, and love” as we lean into what God is calling us to be and do as a Fellowship Community. Be well, and we’ll see you in October!
In Christ’s Love, The Fellowship Community Board
