We are a community that strives to support one another and build relationships. We provide meals for families during times of joy, serious illness, or grief.
We also offer the following regular fellowship events:
MONTHLY FELLOWSHIP MEALS
About once a month the congregation is invited to share in a potluck meal following the worship service. Suggested potluck contributions are announced in the bulletin. All who are present at the worship service, including visitors, are invited to share in the meal!
FIRST WEDNESDAY SUPPERS
On the first Wednesday evening of each month (at 6:00 p.m.) the congregation, along with friends and family, gathers for fellowship around a meal prepared by a team of volunteers. We celebrate a variety of cultures in our congregation and, on selected months, we serve specialty ethnic dishes. First Wednesday meals are open to all! At the conclusion of the meal there is sometimes a program or presentation on a topic of interest to the congregation.
Cost to attend: $5.00 per person OR $15.00 per family. Children under 5 are free.
*FMC Members - Please sign up ahead of time in the Commons!
NEIGHBORHOOD COFFEE & FELLOWSHIP
On the 3rd Tuesday of each month from 9:30 a.m. — 10:30 a.m. church members and their friends, people from the neighborhood surrounding our church, and attendees of other neighborhood churches gather for a time of fellowship, coffee, and continental breakfast treats. All are welcome to join us!
Contact the secretary with any questions.
FALL RETREAT
Each year in September, FMC attenders are invited to participate in a weekend retreat at the Williamsburg Christian Retreat Center. The retreat serves to bring our congregation closer together and closer to God. The retreat also serves to help FMC grow by shedding light on ways that we can improve through the use of group sessions and discussions.

During the season of Lent the pastor leads a weekly evening study designed to deepen our spiritual commitment and prepare us for the celebration of Easter.
