Koinonia means Fellowship, to reach out to others through the love instilled, to us, by Christ’s love for us. For others in need of prayer, stronger faith, or just needing a friend. We want to be able to touch someone, no matter if young or old or their status in life in any small way we can. Primarily, we want to simply be there for one another in Christian Love, no matter the circumstance. The first fellowship was a picnic for the “Seniors” on July 21,1984. From this gathering we found the seniors interest was on organized fellowships such as picnics, dinners and perhaps a musical skit or play. Our seniors usually range from 55+ years. The continuing years have been nothing but beautiful, dedicated, and well-organized.
