First Congregational United Church of Christ - Grand Junction, CO

          The Fellowship Board shall be responsible for maintaining and promoting activities that promote fellowship among all members and friends of the church.

        The Fellowship Board plans ways to assure that members and their guests will be fed and otherwise taken care of during church meetings and other gatherings.  Dine with 9 is organized to include small groups of members who enjoy going together to sample the foods and atmospheres at local restaurants.  Dine with a Chef is arranged so that members and guests dine at a home in which a "chef" resides!  Board members are known for their own culinary talents as they produce pies and other goodies when members gather.

        The Board meets the second Sunday of each month after the church service.

2010-2011 Board Members are:

Bob VanMatre

(and others to be announced)

Annual Report of Fellowship Board May 23, 2010

     We’ve had a busy year and a few problems but those were overcome with the help received from volunteers – all of the VanMatre family, Kong Vong, Kay Ragsdale, the Deacons (on two occasions) and Choir Members. If anyone has been left out, I apologize.

     All together, we have had 6 pot lucks, celebrated special birthdays, helped with the Garden Tour and did the Annual Picnic in June. It was held here at the church.

     Our Pie Social in November was a big success with lots of variety.

     For our Shrove Tuesday dinner we had the help of Carl Hochmuth who was our chef for the evening. For those not aware, Carl also volunteered and revitalized our stove. It shines!

     Easter Sunday church members supplied special breads for our coffee hour. Thanks!
