Details about the picnic are on the cover the newsletter. We hope you and your family will join us for this special night of fellowship in the church pavilion.
Joyfully Living—Adult Small Groups Reach Out Our adult small groups meet for study and fellowship on Sundays following our worship service. They also serve together. One of the adult small groups recently provided new books for all of the FIKE after-school children! What a great way to encourage summer reading! Another adult small group recently hosted a STAR party at Generations Group Home. 8 boys attended, played games of dodgeball and golf, and enjoyed pizza and homemade desserts. Our small groups are joyfully sharing the love of Jesus here in Fountain Inn!
