Fellowship is a crucial component of Christian living. As believers in Christ, it’s important to gather regularly with likeminded individuals who share our passion for serving God and reaching out to others with His love.

An opening prayer sets the stage for a fruitful fellowship experience, reminding participants of the purpose behind our coming together and humbly acknowledging our dependence on Him.

It creates an atmosphere conducive to spiritual growth, mutual encouragement and transformation.
