Opportunities for Fellowship
"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who
promised is faithful; and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good
deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging
one another; and all the more, as you see the day drawing near." (Hebrews
10:23-25)
Fellowship among Christians is essential in order to provide the necessary encouragement
and support we need to survive in a lonely and discouraging world. In addition to the
worship and educational ministries which also provide fellowship, there are special
fellowship opportunities within the church.
Women's Ministries
Presbyterian Men
Friendship Club
Prayer Fellowship
Women's
Ministries
 The women of the congregation plan several
special events each year to promote both fellowship and discipleship. An
annual highlight is a Women's Beach Retreat. This year's retreat will
take place on Wrightsville Beach on September 23-26. Other activities
include seasonal gatherings and a fall yard sale to benefit
the Kannapolis Bible Teaching Association.
A women's circle Bible study meets
on the second Monday of each month at the church at 2:00 p.m. All women are
welcome to attend.

 Presbyterian Men
All of the men of the church are invited to attend the
Presbyterian Men Breakfast on the third Sunday of the month, 8:00 a.m., in the Fellowship
Hall. After a hearty breakfast and time of fellowship we enjoy an informative or
inspirational program. The Presbyterian Men also host an annual banquet in May to honor
the ladies of the church, provide the special music during the worship service on Mothers'
Day, and have "adopted" occasional work projects around the
church.
 Friendship Club
The Friendship Club is a fellowship of senior citizens in
our church. The club meets for a covered dish dinner at noon on the third Thursday of each
month--enjoying good food, good fellowship, and good programs. On the first Thursday of
each month the club goes out to eat in an area restaurant. Occasional bus trips are taken,
both one day and overnight. Recent trip destinations have included Valdese, and
Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia, and Bedford, Virginia. The Club also ministers to members
who are shut-in or in the hospital.
Prayer Fellowship
 Prayer Fellowship is a time when we
come together as a body of Christ on the first Sunday of each month for a time of
fellowship, thanksgiving and prayer. The time is at 9:00 a.m. in the Session Room for
30-35 minutes. Participants are assigned prayer partners each month with whom they can
share prayer concerns. The Prayer Fellowship also coordinates a PrayerTree.
A number of women gather for prayer in the Young Adult Sunday School
Classroom on the second floor of the Education Building on other Sundays at
9:00 a.m.
