The members of the Fellowship Group of Bonne Bay North celebrated their birthdays in an old traditional way: with samples of clothing that was worn many years ago. They played games like musical chairs, and danced to the music of yesterday. Doris Pittman and Elizabeth Payne cut the birthday cake and blew out the candles. Both ladies are 90 yrs of age.
The Fellowship Group has been a part of the parish for three years and all the ladies look forward to meeting each Monday night. Our gatherings always open and end with prayers. They all enjoy playing many games, doing crafts, telling stories, singing, and doing skits.
This gathering is open to everyone, and it has provided the ladies with new friends, new learnings, and the true meaning of fellowship.
Jesus taught that friendship is important and valued, and he demonstrated this through his actions. John 15: 12 – 13: “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
