Sermon Notes

March 4, 2018 John 10:1-10 Pastor Barry

Sunday, March 11 Fellowship Friends Picture Day

Fellowship Friends has grown. We have added more adults and children. It has been

exciting to hear stories of what is happening on Sunday mornings, Wednesday nights

and around town of how the Fellowship Friends have connected. Again this is a simple

connecting with someone you may not know. Just say hi, write them a note and put it

in their church box, pray for them, etc.

If you have not taken a picture with your Fellowship Friend come to the gym between

services (9:30-10:10 am) on Sunday, March 11 to have another chance to take pictures

with your Fellowship Friend.
